Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points R(4,3) and S(-1,6).

+
The midpoint is.
(Type an ordered pair. Use integers or simplified fractions for any numbers in the expression.)

Answer 1

(3/2, 9/2)

Explanation:

You want the midpoint of the line segment with end points R(4, 3) and S(-1, 6).

Midpoint

The coordinates of the midpoint will be the average of the end point coordinates:

M = (R +S)/2

M = ((4, 3) +(-1, 6))/2 = (4 -1, 3 +6)/2 = (3, 9)/2

M = (3/2, 9/2) . . . . coordinates of the midpoint
