Question

anonymous · Answer

Do you know the midpoint formula?

anonymous · Answer

no i don't know it

anonymous · Answer

That's how it looks.

anonymous · Answer

So, (-4 + -8) divided by 2 is how you find the X variable.

anonymous · Answer

And (-9 + -5) divided by 2 is how you find the Y variable.

anonymous · Answer

so its -8

anonymous · Answer

-8,-7

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer

Hmmmmm. Hold on a minute.

anonymous · Answer

ok

anonymous · Answer

ok

anonymous · Answer

Okay, so I know the problem. It seems that we both relied on the google calculator, perhaps? Haha.

anonymous · Answer

First, add the numbers with a calculator. Then when you get the answer, divide.

anonymous · Answer

For example...

anonymous · Answer

-4 + -8 is -12.
then divide it by 2.
This leaves us with -6 as the x variable.

anonymous · Answer

Try finding the Y variable.

anonymous · Answer

(-6,-7)

anonymous · Answer

-9 + -5 = -14.
Divided by 2, you get -7.
So the answer is (-6 , -7)
Sorry for the inconvenience. :/
