What is the midpoint of a segment whose endpoints are (–4, –2) and (5, 1)?

In fraction form, the answer is (1/2, -1/2). In decimal form, that same point is (0.5, -0.5)

Explanation:

Add up the x coordinates: -4+5 = 1

Then divide that result over 2: 1/2 = 0.5

So that is the x coordinate of the midpoint

Repeat the same steps for the y coordinate as well

Add up y coordinates: -2+1 = -1

Divide by 2: -1/2 = -0.5

Which is the y coordinate of the midpoint

So the midpoint is (1/2, -1/2) = (0.5, -0.5)

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.
