What is the midpoint of (-5,2) and (2, - 7)?

The answer to your question is Midpoint = (-1.5, -2.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Point A = (-5, 2)

Point B = (2, -7)

Process

To find the midpoint, use the formula to calculate the mid-x and the formula to find the mid-y, then write the results as a point.

Formula

Xm = (x1 + x2) / 2

Ym = (y1 + y2) / 2

Substitution

Xm = (-5 + 2)/2

Ym = (2 - 7)/2

Simplification

Xm = -3/2

Ym = -5/2

Result

Xm = -1.5

Ym = -2.5

Midpoint = (-1.5, -2.5)

false

step-by-step explanation:

rulers and compasses arent required in order to bisect an angle because when bisecting angles, you're making a "half circle" and considering in order to bisect an angle it wouldn't be straight, you wouldn't need either of the two
