Find the midpoint, M, of AB. A = (-3, -1) B = (-7, -7) M = ([?], [ ]) M = ( (x1 + x2) / 2 , (y1 + y2) / 2 )

Find the midpoint, M, of AB. A = (-3, -1) B = (-7, -7) M = ([?], [ ]) M = ( (x1 + x2) / 2 , (y1 + y2) / 2 )

Answer

The midpoint M of line segment AB can be calculated using the midpoint formula:
M = ( (x1 + x2) / 2 , (y1 + y2) / 2 )

  1. Substitute the given coordinates A = (-3, -1) and B = (-7, -7) into the formula:
  2. M = ( (-3 + (-7)) / 2 , (-1 + (-7)) / 2 )
  3. Calculate the x-coordinate: (-3 + (-7)) / 2 = -10 / 2 = -5
  4. Calculate the y-coordinate: (-1 + (-7)) / 2 = -8 / 2 = -4
  5. Therefore, the midpoint M is (-5, -4)
