Warm Up Use the points A(2, 2), B(12, 2) and C(4, 8) for Exercises 1–5. 1. Find X and Y, the midpoints of AC and CB. 2. Find XY. 3. Find AB. 4. Find the slope of AB. 5. Find the slope of XY. 6. What is the slope of a line parallel to 3x + 2y = 12?
3
A midsegment of a triangle is a segment that joins the midpoints of two sides of the triangle. Every triangle has three midsegments, which form the midsegment triangle.

The vertices of ∆XYZ are X(–1, 8), Y(9, 2), and Z(3, –4)
The vertices of ∆XYZ are X(–1, 8), Y(9, 2), and Z(3, –4). M and N are the midpoints of XZ and YZ. Show that and
