3.5

5

1.5

Answer 1

So really the problem says to find the midpoint of GH.

Answer 2

Do you know the midpoint formula?

Answer 3

\[\frac{ x1 + x2 }{ 2 }, \frac{ y1 + y2 }{ 2 }\]

Plug your points into the midpoint formula, as Mertsj directed.

Answer 4

thank you! ^-^

Answer 5

so it'd be 1.5 right??

Answer 6

yes
