Answer 1

Use the midpoint formula,

$\left( \dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2} \right)$

where x₁ = -3, x₂ = 4, y₁ = -5, and y₂ = 4.

$\left( \dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2} , \dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2} \right) \implies \left( \dfrac{-3+4}{2} , \dfrac{-5+4}{2} \right) = \left(0.5, -0.5\right).$

So, the midpoint of A and B is (0.5, -0.5). It should be in the first quadrant.
