Answer:

-5/6 and -8/3

Explanation:

To find the cordinates of the midpoint we must add the coordinates together and divide them by 2

let A be the midpoint of this line :

A (1/2-4/3 , -5/2-1/6)

A( -5/6, -8/3)

Answer:

(-5/12 , - 4/3)

Explanation:

The midpoint of the points (1/2, -5/2) and (-4/3, -1/6) is


(( (1)/(2) - (4)/(3) )/(2) \: \: ( - ( 5)/(2) - (1)/(6) )/(2) ) \\ \\ = ( ( - (5)/(6) )/(2) \: \: ( - (8)/(3) )/(2) ) \\ \\ = ( - (5)/(12) \: \: \: - (4)/(3) )

(-5/12 , - 4/3)

Hope this helps you
