Answer:
[tex]M = ( \frac{7}{2} , \frac{-7}{2} )[/tex] or (3.5, - 3.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the endpoints (-1,-6) and (8,-1),
Let x1 = -1
x2 = 8
y1 = -6
y2 = -1
We can use the following Midpoint formula:
[tex]M = (\frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )[/tex]
[tex]M = ( \frac{ -1 + 8 }{2} , \frac{-6 + (-1)}{2} )[/tex]
[tex]M = ( \frac{7}{2} , \frac{-7}{2} )[/tex] or (3.5, - 3.5)
