please i need help with these math problems.?
1.)c(3,6)d(7,2)m(_,_)
2.)c(-3,1)d(5,-5),m (_,_)
3.)c(4,1)d(_,_)m(3,2)
4.)c(_,_)d(2,4)m(5,1)

The midpoint of a segment with endpoints (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) has coordinates ((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2)
In other words, average the two x-coordinates to get the x-coordinate of the midpoint and average the two y-coordinates to get the y-coordinate of the midpoint.
and for 3 and 4 just use the midpoint formula and plug in the variables that are given and it is easy to solve for the remaining variable
for example in number 3
(x1 + x2)/2 = x
the coordinates of c are (4,1) and the midpoint is (3,2) so just use the x value of the point c and the x value of the midpoint and solve for the x value of d
(4 + x)/2 = 3
4 + x = 6
x=2
do the same for the y values
(1+x)/2 = 2
1 + x = 4
x = 3
so the answer to number 3 is (2,3) and the same thing goes for number 4
