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 \(-18\).
\[
M = \frac{V + W}{2}
