Answer:
Therefore, Point M( 1 , -2 ) is the Mid point of segment ST.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Let,
point S( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( -1 , 1)
point T( x₂ , y₂) ≡ (3 , -5)
Point M( x , y ) is the Mid point of segment ST.
To Find:
Point M( x , y )= ?
Solution:
As Point M( x , y ) is the Mid point of segment ST.
So we have Mid Point Formula as
[tex]Mid\ pointM(x,y)=(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2})[/tex]
On substituting the given values in above equation we get
[tex]M(x,y)=(\frac {-1+3}{2},\frac{-5+1}{2})\\\\M(x,y)=(\frac{2}{2},\frac{-4}{2}) \\\\M(x,y)=(1,-2)\ \textrm{which the required midpoint}[/tex]
Therefore, Point M( 1 , -2 ) is the Mid point of segment ST.
