Answer:
The mid-point of the given line segment is:(5.5,-6.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
let us consider two points A and B with coordinates (a,b) and (c,d) respectively.
let C be the mid point of A and B then then the coordinates of C is given by [tex](\frac{a+c}{2},\frac{b+d}{2})[/tex].
in the given question (a,b)=(9,-8) and (c,d)=(2,-5) so the mid point of these two points are [tex](\frac{9+2}{2},\frac{-8-5}{2})[/tex]=(5.5,-6.5)
Hence, the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints B(9,-8) and C(2,-5) is (5.5,-6.5).
