Question

If someone can help me figure out #6. Thanks

Answer 1

Answer: $(1,-\frac{3}{2})$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the midpoint, you use the formula $midpoint=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} ,\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )$.

The points are (-2,-1) and (4,-2).

$midpoint=(\frac{-2+4}{2} ,\frac{-1+(-2)}{2} )$              [add]

$midpoint=(\frac{2}{2} ,\frac{-3}{2} )$                            [divide]

$midpoint=(1 ,\frac{-3}{2} )$

Now, we know the midpoint is $(1,-\frac{3}{2})$.
