Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the two points.
-$( - 7 , - 4 )$ and $( 0,8 )$
A) $\left( - \frac { 7 } { 2 } , - 6 \right)$
B) $( - 7 , - 12 )$
C) $( - 7,4 )$
D) $\left( - \frac { 7 } { 2 } , 2 \right)$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The midpoint of a line segment is found by averaging the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates of the endpoints. For the given points $(-7, -4)$ and $(0, 8)$, the midpoint is $\left(\frac{-7 + 0}{2}, \frac{-4 + 8}{2}\right) = \left(-\frac{7}{2}, 2\right)$.
