1.) S(4,-1) and T(6,0)

2.) L(4,2) and P(0,2)

3.) H(-5,5) and I(7,3)

4.)G(-2,-8) and H(-3,-12)

1. 6 -4 =2, so the x distance to the midpoint is 2/2 = 1

0 – -1 = 1. so the y distance to the midpoint is 1/2 = 1/2

now, add the x and y distance to the starting point (4, -1) and you get (5, -1/2)

2. 0 – 4 = -4 , x dist = -4/2 = -2

2 – 2 = 0, y dist = 0/2 = 0 , add to starting point (4,2) get (2,2)

3. 7 – -5 = 12 12/2 = 6

3 – 5 = -1 -2/2 = -1 add (6,-1) to (-5, 5) get (1, 4)

4. -3 – -2 = -1 , -12 – -8 = -4

add (-1/2, -2) to (-2, -8) = (-2 1/2, -10)

sure. it’s on Yahoo! Answers for a reason, right?

1) (5, -1/2)

2) (2, 2)

3) (1, 4)

4) (-5/2, -10)

of course, I used the midpoint formula. ( y1+y2/2, x1+x2/2)

in a sense, the midpoint is the average.

hope that helps!
