Answer:
coordinates of midpoint will be (3.5, -12.5).
Step-by-step explanation:
Mid point of any segment joining two points (x,y) and x',y') is represented by
[tex][\frac{x+x'}{2}, \frac{y+y'}{2} ][/tex]
So midpoint of a segment joining (15,-17) and (-8,-8) will be
[tex][\frac{15+(-8)}{2}, \frac{-17+(-8)}{2} ][/tex]
= [tex][\frac{7}{2}, \frac{-25}{2} ][/tex]
= [3.5,-12.5]
Therefore, coordinates of midpoint will be (3.5, -12.5).
