Find the midpoint, M, in VW, V=-26 W=-10

Answer 1

To find the midpoint \( M \) between two points \( V \) and \( W \), you can use the midpoint formula:

\[ M = \frac{V + W}{2} \]

Given that \( V = -26 \) and \( W = -10 \), you can substitute these values into the formula:

\[ M = \frac{-26 + (-10)}{2} \]

First, calculate the sum:

\[ -26 + (-10) = -36 \]

Now, divide that sum by 2:

\[ M = \frac{-36}{2} = -18 \]

Thus, the midpoint \( M \) is \(-18\).
