Sagot :

Answer:

  (-3/2, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the midpoint of line segment AB with end points A(-5, 5) and B(2, -5).

Midpoint

The midpoint of a line segment has coordinates that are the average of the end point coordinates.

  M = (A +B)/2

  M = ((-5, 5) +(2, -5))/2 = (-5+2, 5-5)/2 = (-3, 0)/2

  M = (-3/2, 0)

The midpoint of the line segment is (-3/2, 0).
