The coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are W (-3,-7) and X (-8,4) will be (-11/2, -3/2). Then the correct option is D.
The complete options are given below.
1. (-11/2) -(11/2)
2.(-5/2)-(3/2)
3.(-5/2-(11/2)
4. (-11/2) -(-3/2)
Let C be the mid-point of the line segment AB.
A = (x₁, y₁)
B = (x₂, y₂)
C = (x, y)
Then the midpoint will be
x = (x₁ + x₂) / 2
y = (y₁ + y₂) / 2
The end points are given below.
(-3, -7) and (-8, 4)
We have
(x₁, y₁) = (-3, -7)
(x₂, y₂) = (-8, 4)
Then the mid-point will be
x = (- 3 - 8) / 2
x = -11 / 2
y = (-7 + 4) / 2
y = -3/2
Then the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are W (-3,-7) and X (-8,4) will be (-11/2, -3/2).
Then the correct option is D.
