Question

Find the midpoint of ST given the coordinates S(2,5) and T(-3,7)

Answer 1

(–½, 6)

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

S coordinate = (2, 5)

T coordinate = (–3, 7)

Mid point =..?

The mid point (S, T) can be obtained as follow:

S = (s₁ + s₂)/2

s₁ = 2

s₂ = –3

S =?

S = (2 + –3)/2

S = (2 – 3)/2

S = – ½

T = (t₁ + t₂)/2

t₁ = 5

t₂ = 7

T =.?

T= (5 + 7)/2

T = 12/2

T = 6

Mid point = (S, T) = (–½, 6)
