Question

A 3. What is the midpoint M given S(-8,-6) and T(4, 12)?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is ( - 2 , 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

$M = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \: \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )$

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

S(-8,-6) and T(4, 12)

We have

$M = ( \frac{ - 8 + 4}{2} \: , \: \frac{ - 6 + 12}{2} ) \\ = ( - \frac{4}{2} \: , \: \frac{6}{2} )$

We have the final answer as

( - 2 , 3)
