Question

Coordinates: (-4, 4), (5, -1)
midpoint:
slope:
distance:

Answer 1

Explanation:

Compute the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints:

p_1 = (-4, 4) and p_2 = (5, -1)

The midpoint between (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) is their componentwise average:

((x_1 + x_2)/2, (y_1 + y_2)/2)

Substitute (x_1, y_1) = (-4, 4) and (x_2, y_2) = (5, -1):

= ((-4 + 5)/2, (4 - 1)/2)

-4 + 5 = 1:

= (1/2, (4 - 1)/2)

4 - 1 = 3:

Answer: = (1/2, 3/2)
