Determine the midpoint of the line segment joining of pair of points

ANSWER
[tex]\text{ The mid-point of the segment is \lparen}\frac{\text{ 1}}{\text{ 2}},\text{ -}\frac{\text{ 11}}{\text{ 2}})[/tex]EXPLANATION
Given that;
[tex]\text{ \lparen8, -8\rparen and \lparen-7, -3\rparen}[/tex]Follow the steps below to find the mid-point of the segment
let x1 = 8, y1 = -8, x2 = -7, and y2 = -3
The formula for calculating mid-point is given below
[tex]\text{ \lparen}\frac{\text{ x1 + x2}}{2},\text{ }\frac{\text{ y1 + y2}}{\text{ 2}})[/tex]Substitute the given data into the above data
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ \lparen}\frac{\text{ 8 + \lparen-7\rparen}}{\text{ 2}},\text{ }\frac{-8\text{ + \lparen-3\rparen}}{2}\text{ \rparen} \\ \\ \text{ \lparen }\frac{8\text{ - 7}}{2},\text{ }\frac{\text{ -8 - 3}}{2}) \\ \\ \text{ \lparen}\frac{1}{2},\text{ }\frac{-11}{2}) \end{gathered}[/tex]
