What is the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoint are (-8,12) and (-13,-2)

The two points (-8,12) and (-13,-2) have x coordinates of -8 and -13. Add these x coordinates up to get
-8 + (-13) = -8 - 13 = -21

Now divide that result by 2 to get -21/2 = -10.5

This value is the x coordinate of the midpoint.



The y coordinates of (-8,12) and (-13,-2) are 12 and -2

Add these values up to get 12+(-2) = 12-2 = 10

Now divide that result by 2: 10/2 = 5

The y coordinate of the midpoint is 5



(-10.5, 5)
