Question

The endpoints of a line segment graphed on a Cartesian coordinate system are (4, 1) and (-2, -4). What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment?

Answer 1

Make sure you read the coordinate points

Answer 2

the midpoint of (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
`((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2))`

just average them


(4,1) and (-2,4)
the midpoint is
`((4-2)/(2),(1-4)/(2))=((2)/(2),(-3)/(2))=`(1,-1.5)
