I was assiged to a 20question assigment and Im having troubles with the following question:

"Find the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment having the endpoints
C(4,1) and D(-3,7).
Then find the distance between the endpoints
PLEASE HELP!!!
Its due on monday!!!

1 answer

the midpoint will be halfway from one end to the other.

Both x and y will be the average of the end values. So, the midpoint

M = ((4 + -3)/2 , (1+7)/2 ) = (1/2,4)
