Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The midpoint of a line segment between two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is given by $\left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right)$. For the points (3, -7) and (8, -3), the midpoint is $\left( \frac{3 + 8}{2}, \frac{-7 - 3}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{11}{2}, -5 \right)$.
