Question

6. Point T is the midpoint of segment SV. If S( 8. ?) and V(4,3), what is the midpoint of segment TV?

Answer 1

S( -8, 7)

V( 4, 3)

Midpoint is given by the formula;

`(x_m,y_m)=((x_1+x_2)/(2),\text{ }(y_(1+)y_2)/(2))`

From the question;

x₁= -8 y₁=7 x₂ = 4 y₂=3

substituting the values into the formula;

`(x_m,y_m)=((-8+4)/(2),\text{ }(7+3)/(2))`

evaluate

`(x_m,y_m)=((4)/(2)\text{ ,}(10)/(2))`
`(x_m,y_m)=(2,\text{ 5)}`

The midpoint is (2, 5)
