Answer 1

(1,3) and (4,3)

Explanation:

if this is for k12 test then this answer is correct

Answer 2

`(1,3)` and
`(4,3)`

Explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

`M((x1+x2)/(2),(y1+y2)/(2))`

step 1

Find the midpoint segment RT

we have

R(0,6) and T(2,0)

substitute in the formula

`U((0+2)/(2),(6+0)/(2))`

`U(1,3)`

step 2

Find the midpoint segment RS

we have

R(0,6) and S(8,0)

substitute in the formula

`V((0+8)/(2),(6+0)/(2))`

`V(4,3)`

therefore

The endpoints of the mid-segment for △RST that is parallel TS is the segment UV

`(1,3)` and
`(4,3)`
