Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for mid-point is;

$midpoint=((x_1+x_2)/2,(y_1+y_2)/2)$

1.Given S(-3,4), U(-3,0) and T(5,0) then finding the mid-points

SU = [(-3+-3)/2,(4+0)/2] =(-3,2)

TU= [(-3+5)/2,(0+0)/2] =(1,0)

ST=[(-3+5)/2,(4+0)/2]=(1,2)

2.Mid-point formula for this case given W(-5,1) and Z(3,3) will be;

Midpoint = [ (x₁+x₂)/2,(y₁+y₂)/2]

Midpoint= [(-5+3)/2 ,(1+3)/2]

Midpoint=(1,2)

3. Finding the length of segments and the midpoint of the segments

Formula for length of segment, d, is given as;

For C(-1,5) and D(5,1)

$d=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2} \\\\d=\sqrt{(1-5)^2+(5--1)^2} =\sqrt{-4^2+6^2} =\sqrt{16+36} =\sqrt{52} =7.21$

Midpoint of the segment CD will be

[(-1+5)/2,(5+1)/2] = (2,3)

For E (-3,-6) and F(5,0)

$d=\sqrt{(0--6)^2+(5--3)^2} =\sqrt{6^2+8^2} =\sqrt{36+64} =\sqrt{100} =10$

The midpoint for segment EF will be;

[(-3+5)/2 ,(-6+0)/2] =(1,-3)

For L(-4,4) and M(-1,-5)

$d=\sqrt{(-5--4)^2+(-1-4)^2} \\d=\sqrt{-1^2+-5^2} \\\\d=\sqrt{1+25}=\sqrt{26} =5.1$
