Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given P(0,-3), Q(7,0), to get PQ, we will use the formula fr calculating the distance between two points expressed as;
PQ = √(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²
From the given coordinates, x₁ = 0, y₁ = -3, x₂ = 7, y₂ = 0
PQ = √(7-0)²+(0-(-3))²
PQ = √7²+3²
PQ = √49+9
PQ = √58
Let the coordinte of the midpoint be (X, Y)
X = x₁+x₂/2 and Y = y₁+y₂/2
Substituting the given coordinates will give;
X = 0+7/2
X = 7/2
X = 3.5
Y = -3+0/2
Y = -3/2
Y = -1.5
Hence, the coordinates of the midpoint of PQ is (3.5, -1.5)
