Find the midpoint of the segment between the points (15,−17) and (−8,−8)

( 7/2 , -25/2  )  or in decimal form = (3.5, -12.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the midpoint formula given 2 points (see attached)

(x-mid, y-mid),

= { [15 + (-8) ] / 2 , [-17 + (-8)] / 2  }

= ( 7/2 , -25/2  )  or (3.5, -12.5)

coordinates of midpoint will be (3.5, -12.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

Mid point of any segment joining two points (x,y) and x',y') is represented by

So midpoint of a segment joining (15,-17) and (-8,-8) will be

=

= [3.5,-12.5]

Therefore, coordinates of midpoint will be (3.5, -12.5).
