What is the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are (-8, 12) and (-13, -2)?

(-2.5, 7)
(-10.5, 5)
(-10.5, 7)

(-10.5, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint of a line segment is given by;

Midpoint = [(x2 + x1)/2, (y2 + y1)/2]

Points are written as coordinates

(x, y)

We are given two points,

Point one (-8, 12) and Point two (-13, -2). These two points corresponds to (x, y)

Midpoint = [(x2 + x1)/2, (y2 + y1)/2]

Where;

x1 = Value of x coordinate on point one = -8

x2 = value of x coordinate on point two = -13

y1 = value of y coordinate on point one = 12

y2 = value of y coordinate on point two = -2

Midpoint = {[-13 + (-8)]/2, [-2 + (12)]/2}

= (-21/2, 10/2)

= (-10.5, 5)
