What are the endpoint coordinates for the midsegment of △pqr that is parallel to pq?

M(x₄ ,y₄) = (-3.5 , 0.5)  and

N (x₅ ,y₅) = ( -1 , -0.5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the endpoint coordinates for the mid segment of △PQR that is parallel to PQ be

M(x₄ ,y₄) and N(x₅ ,y₅) such that MN || PQ

point P( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( -3 ,3 )

point Q( x₂ , y₂) ≡ (2 , 1 )

point R( x₂ , y₂) ≡ (-4 , -2)  

To Find:

M(x₄ ,y₄) = ?  and

N (x₅ ,y₅) = ?

Solution:

We have Mid Point Formula as

As M is the mid point of PR and N is the mid point of RQ so we will have

Substituting the given value in above equation we get

∴

∴

Similarly,

∴

∴

∴ M(x₄ ,y₄) = (-3.5 , 0.5)  and

  N (x₅ ,y₅) = ( -1 , -0.5 )
