Answer 2

Find the midpoint, M It's the average of x & y for A & B. M is (-1,1/2) Then find Q, midway between A & M.

Answer 3

use section formula..
let that point be(x,y)
let m/n=1/4
x=(mx2+nx1)/m+n
y=(my2+ny1)/m+n

Answer 4

@nirmalnema I dont understand

Answer 5

which part ?? u dont understand

Answer 6
