now, midpoint formulae: (x1+x2)/2,( y1+y2)/2
here,
a(-11,-8)=x1y1
b(8,-2)=x2y2
then,substitute values:
(-11+(8))/2, -8+(-2)/2
(-3/2,-10/2) i.e., (simplify 10/5)
(-3/2,-5) are the coordinates.
Answer: -3/2,-5
Step-by-step explanation:
x₁= -11 x₂= 8 y₁= -8 y₂= -2
x= -11+8/2 = -3/2
y= -8-2/2 = -10/2 = -5
HOPE THIS IS HELPFULL
