Question

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

Answer 1

M(-1, -1)

Explanation:

`\boxed{midpoint = ( (x1 + x2)/(2) , (y1 + y2)/(2) )}`

Using the midpoint formula above,

`M = ( (3 - 5)/(2) , (2 - 4)/(2) ) \\ M = ( ( - 2)/(2) , ( - 2)/(2) ) \\ M = ( - 1, - 1)`
