TABLE OF CONTENTS

Step 1. Given Information.

The given endpoints are−16,−5,5,5

Step 2. Formula used.

The midpoint of the segment with the endpointsx1,y1,x2,y2 isx1+x22,y1+y22.

Step 3. Calculation.

To find midpoint of the segment, substitutex1,y1=−16,−5 andx2,y2=5,5 into the midpoint formula then simplify it.

x1+x22,y1+y22=−16+52,−5+52x1+x22,y1+y22=−112,0

Step 4. Conclusion.

The midpoint of the segment with the endpoints−16,−5,5,5 is−112,0.
