Gina wrote the following paragraph to prove that the segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side.

Given: ∆ABC

Prove: The midsegment between sides and is parallel to side .

Draw ∆ABC on the coordinate plane with point A at the origin (0, 0). Let point B have the ordered pair (x1, y1) and locate point C on the x-axis at (x2, 0). Point D is the midpoint of with coordinates at
