Chapter 13.5, Problem 3WE

To determine

To find: the coordinate of the midpoint of the segment

Answer to Problem 3WE

The coordinate of the midpoint is $\left(0,-2\right)$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The points are $\left(6,-7\right)\&\left(-6,3\right)$

Calculation:

The coordinate of the midpoint

  $\begin{array}{l}M=\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)\\ M=\left(\frac{6+\left(-6\right)}{2},\frac{-7+3}{2}\right)\\ M=\left(\frac{0}{2},\frac{-4}{2}\right)\\ M=\left(0,-2\right)\end{array}$
