According to the given data we have the following:
segment DE
endpoints D(3,5)
E(-4,0)
m?
In order to calculate the midpoint of segment DE we would have to make the following calculations:
So, first you need to identy the xs and ys.
In this case the x of D(3,5) would be 3, and E(-4,0)
The y of D(3,5) is 5 and E(-4,0) is 0.
Therefore, calculate the midpoint of segment DE you would have to take the average of the x's and the y's.
so average of the x's=3-4/2=-1/2
average of the y's=5-0/2=5/2.
Therefore, the midpoint of segment DE will be (-1/2,5/2)
So, m=(-1/2,5/2)
