Question

Please help!

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points ​R(​-4,3​) and ​S(3​,6​).

Answer 1

Hopefully this helps you.

Answer 2

The formula to find the mid-point of a line segment give the two end points is:

M

=

(

x

1

+

x

2

2

,

y

1

+

y

2

2

)

Where

M

is the midpoint and the given points are:

(

x

1

y

1

)

and

(

x

2

y

2

)

Substituting the values from the points in the problem gives:

M

=

(

−

3

+

1

2

,

3

+

−

)

M

=

(

−

)

M

=
