The endpoints of a line segment graphed on a Cartesian coordinate system are (4, 1) and (-2, -4). What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment?

Respuesta :

the midpoint of (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is [tex](\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})[/tex]

just average them


(4,1) and (-2,4)
the midpoint is  [tex](\frac{4-2}{2},\frac{1-4}{2})=(\frac{2}{2},\frac{-3}{2})=[/tex](1,-1.5)

Make sure you read the coordinate points
