Question

Plz help number 3d ( can you pls show ur steps of how you got the answer)

Answer 1

`((13)/(16),-(3)/(8))`

Explanation:

Midpoint of a segment with the given endpoints
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)` is defined by,

`((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2))`

In this question endpoints of the segment are,

`Q(-(3)/(8),(1)/(8))` and
`R(2,-(7)/(8))`

Coordinates of the midpoint will be,

`((-(3)/(8)+2)/(2),((1)/(8)-(7)/(8))/(2))`

=
`((13)/(16),-(3)/(8))`

Therefore, coordinates of the midpoint are
`((13)/(16),-(3)/(8))`.
