Answer:
M = (1.5, 2.5 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is
[ [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (x₁ + x₂ ), [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (y₁ + y₂ ) ]
Here (x₁, y₁ ) = C(4, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = D(- 1, - 1) , thus
midpoint = [ [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (4 - 1) , [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (6 - 1 ) ] = (0.5(3), 0.5(5) ) = (1.5, 2.5 )
