Help please!! The coordinates of the vertices of a triangle are M(-4,1), A(3,3), and N(2,-3).
1. Determine the coordinates of J, the midpoint of MA.
2. Determine the coordinate of L, the midpoint of AN.

I don't know how to find the coordinates of a midpoint given the vertices. If anyone could help me or just tell me how to do it i'd be so glad! Will give brainliest.

Answer:

Part 1) [tex]J(-0.5,2)[/tex]

Part 2) [tex]L(2.5,0)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the midpoint M between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is equal to

[tex]M(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})[/tex]

The x-coordinate of the midpoint is equal to the semi-sum of the x-coordinates of the two points and the y-coordinate of the midpoint is equal to the semi-sum of the y-coordinates of the two points

Part 1) Determine the coordinates of J, the midpoint of MA

we have the points

M(-4,1), and A(3,3)

substitute in the formula

[tex]J(\frac{-4+3}{2},\frac{1+3}{2})[/tex]

[tex]J(-0.5,2)[/tex]

Part 2) Determine the coordinates of L, the midpoint of AN

we have the points

A(3,3), and N(2,-3)

substitute in the formula

[tex]L(\frac{3+2}{2},\frac{3-3}{2})[/tex]

[tex]L(2.5,0)[/tex]

ANSWER:

part A: (-0.5, 2)

part B: (2.5, 0)

im positive that this is correct because i had my math teacher verify the answer
