Answer:
( [tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex],[tex]-\frac{9}{2}[/tex])
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a midpoint is as follows:
[tex](\frac{x_{1} +x_{2}}{2} ,\frac{y_{1} +y_{2}}{2})[/tex]
The x-coordinate:
x1 = 7, x2 = -8
7+(-8) = -1
Divide by 2 to get the x-midpoint
-1/2
The y-coordinate
y1 = -4, y2 = -5
-4 + (-5) = -9
Divide by 2 to get the y-midpoint
-9/2
You get:
( [tex]-\frac{1}{2}[/tex],[tex]-\frac{9}{2}[/tex])
