Given Coordinates: x1 = -1 y1 = 4, x2 = 3 y2 = -1
Midpoint Formula: midpoint = (
Substitute the given coordinates into the Midpoint Formula and Simplify:midpoint = (
midpoint = (1, 1.5)
Therefore, (1, 1.5) is the midpoint of the points (-1, 4) and (3, -1)
Midpoint Formula: midpoint = (
x1 + x2/2
, y1 + y2/2
)Substitute the given coordinates into the Midpoint Formula and Simplify:midpoint = (
-1 + 3/2
, 4 + (-1)/2
)midpoint = ( -1 + 3/2
, 4 − 1/2
)midpoint = ( 2/2
, 3/2
)midpoint = (1, 3/2
)midpoint = (1, 1.5)
Therefore, (1, 1.5) is the midpoint of the points (-1, 4) and (3, -1)
