To find the midpoint \( M \) of the line segment \( EF \) with endpoints \( E \) and \( F \), you can use the midpoint formula:
\[
M = \frac{E + F}{2}
\]
Substituting the values of \( E \) and \( F \):
\[
M = \frac{-17 + 5}{2}
\]
Now, calculate the sum:
\[
-17 + 5 = -12
\]
Then divide by 2:
\[
M = \frac{-12}{2} = -6
\]
Therefore, the midpoint \( M \) of \( EF \) is \( -6 \).
\[
M = \frac{E + F}{2}
\]
Substituting the values of \( E \) and \( F \):
\[
M = \frac{-17 + 5}{2}
\]
Now, calculate the sum:
\[
-17 + 5 = -12
\]
Then divide by 2:
\[
M = \frac{-12}{2} = -6
\]
Therefore, the midpoint \( M \) of \( EF \) is \( -6 \).
