Question

What is the midpoint of RS with endpoints R (-8, 3) and S (9, – 7)?

Answer 1

Answer:

Midpoint coordinates are $(x,y) = (\frac{1}{2} , -2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Coordinates of R = (-8,3)

The Coordinates of S = (9, -7)

Let M be the mid point of M and its coordinates by (x,y)

Now, by mid point formula,

$(x,y) = (\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2} ,\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} )$

⇒$(x,y) = (\frac{1}{2} ,\frac{-4}{2} ) = (\frac{1}{2} , -2)$

So, the midpoint coordinates are $(x,y) = (\frac{1}{2} , -2)$
