?????

=====

I do see D(4-1) and C(-3,4). The question asks what is the midpoint. That would be point M, with a coordinate of (0.5,1.5), which is derived from the average of the two points: x: (4-3)/2 = 0.5; y: (-1+4)/2) = 1.5

See the attached image for how the points relate to each other. I derived an equation for the point to illustrate where the midpoint, M, is situated.

=============================

Slope = Rise/Run

Rise: (-1 - 4) = -5

Run: (4 - (-3)) = 7

Slope = -(5/7)

Equation for the line is y = -(5/7)x + 1.9
