The answer is D. ( -0.5, -1 )

The midpoint of the vertices is talking about the point that would be exactly between the two vertices shown, (3,2) and (-4,-4)

A way to look at this is think of drawing a straight line from point to point and the middle of the lone would be the midpoint. Just using this method, the obvious answer is D. (-0.5,-1), but let's do the math.

I attached the midpoint formula to see what I'm doing. Let's go ahead and plug in our variables:

x = (3 + -4/ 2) = (-1 / 2) = -0.5

y = (2 + -4/ 2) = (-2 / 2) = -1

So our midpoint is ( -0.5 , -1 )

Thank you for the question! I hope this helped! Have an amazing day!! :D

I think it is C:(-4,-4) But then again, I am only in in grade 5 doing 7/8 grade math. Sorry if it is wrong!
