Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The midpoint of a line segment is found by averaging the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates of the endpoints. For the given points $\left( - \frac { 1 } { 2 } , 1 \right)$ and $( 1,2 )$, the midpoint is $\left( \frac{ -\frac{1}{2} + 1 }{2}, \frac{1 + 2}{2} \right) = \left( \frac { 1 } { 4 } , \frac { 3 } { 2 } \right)$.
