Answer:
The answer is
[tex]( - 8 \: , \: - \frac{1}{2} )[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula
[tex]M = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \: \frac{y1 + y2}{2} ) \\ [/tex]
where
(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points
From the question the points are
(-8, 3), (-8,-4)
The midpoint is
[tex]M = ( \frac{ - 8 - 8}{2} \: , \: \frac{3 - 4}{2} ) \\ = ( - \frac{16}{2} \: , \: - \frac{1}{2} )[/tex]
We have the final answer as
[tex]( - 8 \: , \: - \frac{1}{2} )[/tex]
Hope this helps you
