Answer:

(0, - 3.5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is

[ [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (x₁ + x₂ ), [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (y₁ + y₂ ) ]

Here (x₁, y₁ ) = A(- 5, - 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B(5, - 3)

midpoint = [ [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (- 5 + 5), [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (- 4 - 3 ) ] = ([tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (0), [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (- 7) ) = (0, - 3.5 )
