Question

find the Midpoint M of the segment joining the points S=(-7,-8) an T= (3,-4)

Answer 1

Answer:

$( -2 ,\:-6)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are: $S=(-7,-8)=(x_1, \:y_1) \:\&\:T= (3,-4)=(x_2, \:y_2)$

Midpoint of segment ST

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

$M=( \frac{-7+3}{2} ,\:\frac{-8+(-4)}{2})$

$M=( \frac{-7+3}{2} ,\:\frac{-8-4}{2})$

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

$M=( -2 ,\:-6)$
