Answer:
The answer is
[tex]( \frac{1}{2} \: , \: - 6)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula
[tex]M = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \: \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )[/tex]
where
(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points
From the question the points are
W(-2,5) and X(3,-17)
The midpoint is
[tex]M =( \frac{ - 2 + 3}{2} , \: \frac{5 - 17}{2} ) \\ = ( \frac{1}{2} \: , \: - \frac{12 }{2} )[/tex]
We have the final answer as
[tex]( \frac{1}{2} \: , \: - 6)[/tex]
Hope this helps you
