find the coordinates of the midpoints of the segments with the given endpoints.
(10,-3)(-8,-5)
:
Use the mid point formula which is: m.p. = %28x1%2Bx2%29%2F2, %28y1%2By2%29%2F2
:
Assign the give coordinates as follows:
x1=10, y1=-3
x2=-8, y2=-5
:
m.p. = %2810-8%29%2F2, %28-3-5%29%2F2
m.p. = %282%29%2F2, %28-8%29%2F2
m.p. = 1,-4
