Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of ST with endpoints S(−2, −1) and T(1, −4)

Answer 1

( -1/2, -2 1/2)

Explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates and divide by 2

( -2+1)/2 = -1/2

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinates and divide by 2

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

( -1/2, -2 1/2)
