Answer 1

The given points are A(-4, 2) and B(1, -4)

In order to get the specific midpoint of a line, we use the next formula:

`\begin{gathered} x_0=(x_1+x_2)/(2) \\ y_0=(y_1+y_2)/(2) \end{gathered}`

Where x0 and y0 belongs to the midpoint M(x0, y0). Now, we substitute our given coordinates:

`\begin{gathered} x_0=(-4+1)/(2)=-(3)/(2) \\ y_0=(2+(-4))/(2)=-(2)/(2)=-1 \\ M(-(3)/(2),-1) \end{gathered}`
