1. Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment from \( A(-4,7) \) to \( S(5,3 \) \( \left(\frac{1}{2}, 5\right) \) \( (-4.5,2) \) \( \left(-\frac{1}{2}, 5\right) \) \( (1,10) \) Clear my selection

To find the midpoint of a segment, you average the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates of the endpoints. For points A(-4, 7) and S(5, 3), the midpoint coordinates can be calculated as: Midpoint \( M \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{-4 + 5}{2}, \frac{7 + 3}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{1}{2}, 5 \right) \). Fantastic! You have found the midpoint at \( M \left( \frac{1}{2}, 5 \right) \) — sweet success! When calculating midpoints, it's essential to ensure each point's coordinates are entered correctly. Double-checking your additions and divisions helps avoid errors, especially with more complex numbers. A simple mistake can lead you astray in getting your desired midpoint!
