8-32.
If
is the midpoint of , is the midpoint of , and is the midpoint of , find the coordinates of . When finding the midpoint remember to calculate the average of the
-coordinates and the average of the -coordinates for the two points. What fraction of the distance from
to is ? Draw a slope triangle for
and a slope triangle for , then compare their side lengths. Use the ratio from part (b) to find the coordinates of point
.
