Question

Find the midpoint of segment LK with endpoints L(-2, 4) and K(5,3).

Answer 1

Answer: (1.5, 3.5)

Explanation:
Find the slope by using the coordinates for points L and K.

3 - 4 = -1
5 - (-2) = 7
Slope = -1/7

Then you plot your points on the graph.
But you want to half your slope to find the midpoint. So your slope would now be -0.5/3.5.

And when you follow that slope, you will plot down the coordinate (1.5, 3.5), which is the midpoint.
