Answer:(0.5, 1.5 )Step-by-step explanation:given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint M isM = ( [tex]\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2}[/tex] , [tex]\frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2}[/tex] )here (x₁, y₁ ) = A (- 4, 4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B (5, - 1 ) ,thenM = ( [tex]\frac{-4+5}{2}[/tex] , [tex]\frac{4-1}{2}[/tex] ) = ( [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] , [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] ) = (0.5, 1.5 )

Suggested Answer

Answer:The midpoint is at ( 1/2, 3/2)Step-by-step explanation:MidpointTo find the x coordinate of the midpointAdd the x coordinates of the endpoints and divide by 2( -4+5)/2 = 1/2To find the y coordinate of the midpointAdd the y coordinates of the endpoints and divide by 2( 4+-1)/2 = 3/2The midpoint is at ( 1/2, 3/2)
