PLEASE HELP WITH THIS QUESTION I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SOLVE IT

What are the coordinates of the endpoints of the midsegment for ΔDEF that is parallel to DE?

Enter your answers, as a decimal or whole number, in the boxes.

(__, __) and (__, __)

Answer 1

The order pairs for the midsegment are (-1,3.5) and (-1,2).

You can find this points by finding the midpoint of the segments below:

Midpoint of FD: (-3+1/2, 3+7/2) Midpoint of EF: (1+-3/2,-1+3/2)
(-2/2,7/2) (-2/2,4/2)
(-1,3.5) (-1,2)

You plot the two points on the coordinate plane, and the draw a line between the two point of these form the line is parallel to DE.
