Question

5. The endpoints of QR are (-5,-4) and R(3,2). Find the coordinates of the midpoint M.

Answer 1

Answer:

M(-1, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

$\boxed{midpoint = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )}$

Using the midpoint formula above,

$M = ( \frac{3 - 5}{2} , \frac{2 - 4}{2} ) \\ M = ( \frac{ - 2}{2} , \frac{ - 2}{2} ) \\ M = ( - 1, - 1)$
