Help asap please

Answer 1

Answer:

Use the midpoint formula

Step-by-step explanation:

(-6 + 0 ) ÷ 2 , (-3 + 3) ÷ 2

M = ( -3 , 0) which lies on the x axis

Answer 2

The midpoint M of ST lies on x axis is true

the midpoint M is (-3,0)

M lies on x axis because the y coordinate is 0

Given :

ST has endpoints  S(-6, -3) and T(0,3)

Lets find out the midpoint M using midpoint formula

$(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} ,\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )$

Here our (x1,y1) is (6,-3) and (x2,y2) is (0,3)

Now apply the midpoint formula to find out midpoint M

$(\frac{-6+0}{2}, \frac{-3+3}{2})\\(-3,0)$

So the midpoint M is (-3,0)

M lies on x axis because the y coordinate is 0
