What are the coordinates of the midpoint, P, of QT
with endpoints Q(-2,-8)
and T(1,5)?

Thank you!

(-1/2 , -3/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

midpoint formula:

(x₁ + x₂) / 2 , (y₁ + y₂) / 2

(-2 + 1) / 2 , (-8 + 5) / 2

P: (-1/2 , -3/2)

The answer in the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If the dilation produces a smaller figure

then

the scale factor must be less than one

Let

z > the scale factor

z < 1

A possible scale factor can be 0.50, 0.20,0.35,0.80, etc
