Question

Find the midpoint M of the line segment joining the points S = (4,-2) and T = (-6,2).

Answer 1

To find the midpoint of the given line segment, we need to find the mean of the x coordinates and the y coordinates of the given points:

`\begin{gathered} x=(4+(-6))/(2)=-(2)/(2)=-1 \\ y=(-2+2)/(2)=0 \end{gathered}`

It means that the midpoint is M = (-1,0).
