Answer :

The given points are

[tex]\begin{gathered} H(-9,3) \\ A(8,-3) \end{gathered}[/tex]

We are asked to find the midpoint.

Recall that the midpoint formula is given by

[tex](x,y)=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}[/tex]

We have

[tex]\begin{gathered} x_1=-9 \\ x_2=8 \\ y_1=3 \\ y_2=-3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Substitute the given values into the midpoint formula.

[tex]\begin{gathered} (x,y)=\frac{-9+8}{2},\frac{3-3}{2} \\ (x,y)=\frac{-1}{2},\frac{0}{2} \\ (x,y)=(-\frac{1}{2},0) \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the midpoint of H(-9, 3) and A (8, -3) is found to be

[tex](x,y)=(-\frac{1}{2},0)[/tex]

Or it can also be written in the decimal notation as

[tex](x,y)=(-0.5,0)[/tex]
