Question

What is the midpoint M of that line segment?

Answer 1

Answer: The midpoint M is located at (6,4)

==============================================

Explanation:

First focus on just the x coordinates of points S and T, which are 5 and 7 respectively. Add them up to get 5+7 = 12. Then divide that in half to get 12/2 = 6. This is the x coordinate of the midpoint.

Repeat for the y coordinates of S and T. First add up the values: 7+1 = 8. Then divide by 2 to get 8/2 = 4. This is the y coordinate of the midpoint.

The two results we get are then written as an ordered pair getting us the answer (6,4)
