Question

Find the Midpoint M of the segment joining the points S=(-7,-8) an T= (3,-4)

Answer 1

`( -2 ,\:-6)`

Explanation:

Given points are:
`S=(-7,-8)=(x_1, \:y_1) \:\&\:T= (3,-4)=(x_2, \:y_2)`

Midpoint of segment ST

`M=( (x_1+x_2)/(2) ,\:(y_1+y_2)/(2))`

`M=( (-7+3)/(2) ,\:(-8+(-4))/(2))`

`M=( (-7+3)/(2) ,\:(-8-4)/(2))`

`M=( (-4)/(2) ,\:(-12)/(2))`

`M=( -2 ,\:-6)`
