Question

The points (-4,1) and (2,-4) are the endpoints of the line segment . Which coordinate pair is the midpoint of the line segment?

Answer 1

The midpoint is (-1, -3/2)
to find the midpoint of something you must use the formula (x2 + x1/2, y2+y1/2)
So our formula becomes (2-4/2, -4+1/2)
which then equals (-1, -3/2)
