+335 What is the slope of the line containing the midpoint of the segment with endpoints at $(2, 4)$ and $(0, -2)$ and the midpoint of the segment with endpoints at $(5, 1)$ and $(1, 5)?$ Express your answer in simplest form.
+310 Using the midpoint formula, we find that the midpoint of the first segment is
\((\frac{2+0}{2}, \frac{4-2}{2})\)=\((\frac{2}{2}, \frac{2}{2})\)=\((1, 1)\)
The midpoint of the second segment is
\((\frac{5+1}{2}, \frac{1+5}{2})\)=\((\frac{6}{2}, \frac{6}{2})\)=\((3, 3)\).
Using the slope formula, we find that the slope of the line with points \((1, 1)\) and \((3, 3)\) is:
\(\frac{3-1}{3-1}=\frac{2}{2}=1\)
