Answer 1

Question:

Point T, the midpoint of segment RS, can be found using the formulas x = (1/2) (6 – 2) + 2 and y = (1/2) (4 – 6) + 6. What are the coordinates of point T?

Answer:

$T(4,5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x = \frac{1}{2}(6 - 2) + 2$

$y = \frac{1}{2}(4 - 6) + 6$

Required

Determine the coordinates of T

The coordinates of T can be represented as $T(x,y)$

To do this, we simply solve for x and y

$x = \frac{1}{2}(6 - 2) + 2$

Solve 6 - 2

$x = \frac{1}{2}*4 + 2$

Solve 1/2 * 4

$x = 2 + 2$

$x = 4$

$y = \frac{1}{2}(4 - 6) + 6$

Solve 4 - 6

$y = \frac{1}{2}*-2 + 6$

Solve 1/2 * -2

$y = -1 + 6$

$y = 5$

Hence, the coordinates of T(x,y) is:

$T(x,y) = T(4,5)$
