Question

Find the midpoint M of the line segment joining the points S = (-8, 3) and T = (2, -1).

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

use the midpoint formula

$( \frac{xs + xt}{2} \: \: \frac{ys + yt}{2} )$

substitute into the midpoint formula

$( \frac{ - 8 + 2}{2} \: \: \frac{3 + ( - 1)}{2} )$

solve the above

(

$(3 \: \: 1)$

so the x coordinate if your midpoint is 3

the y coordinate of your midpoint is 1
