Find the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints N(−6, −6) and Z(5, −3).

Step 1: Determine the coordinates of M, the midpoint of line NZ. The coordinates of N are (−6, −6) and Z are (5, −3). The midpoint formula is M = ((x₁+x₂)/(2), (y₁+y₂)/(2)). Substitute the coordinates of N and Z: M = ((−6+5)/(2), (−6+(−3))/(2)); M = ((−1)/(2), (−9)/(2)) The coordinates of M are (−1/2, −9/2).

Step 1: Determine the coordinates of M, the midpoint of line NZ.
The coordinates of N are $(-6, -6)$ and Z are $(5, -3)$ .
The midpoint formula is $M = \left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$ .
Substitute the coordinates of N and Z:

M = \left(\frac{-6+5}{2}, \frac{-6+(-3)}{2}\right)

M = \left(\frac{-1}{2}, \frac{-9}{2}\right)

The coordinates of M are $\left(-\frac{1}{2}, -\frac{9}{2}\right)$ .
