Let the given points of a triangle be A(1, -1), B(0, 4), C(-5, 3).
Let D, E, F be the mid-points of the sides BC, CA and AB respectively. Then,
The co-ordinates of D are :

equals straight D open square brackets fraction numerator 0 plus 5 over denominator 2 end fraction comma space fraction numerator 4 plus 3 over denominator 2 end fraction close square brackets equals straight D open square brackets fraction numerator negative 5 over denominator 2 end fraction comma space 7 over 2 close square brackets

the co-ordinates of E are
