Question

Find the midpoint M of the line segment joining the points S = (-8, 3) and T = (2, -1).

Answer 1

Explanation:

use the midpoint formula

`( (xs + xt)/(2) \: \: (ys + yt)/(2) )`

substitute into the midpoint formula

`( ( - 8 + 2)/(2) \: \: (3 + ( - 1))/(2) )`

solve the above

(

`(3 \: \: 1)`

so the x coordinate if your midpoint is 3

the y coordinate of your midpoint is 1
