Question

The endpoints of segment TU are T(-8, 4) and U(6, -1). Calculate the coordinates of the midpoint, M. *

Answer 1

Answer:

The point M(Mx, My) is mid-point of TU with T(Tx, Ty) and U(Ux, Uy).

=> 2*Mx = Tx + Ux => 2*Mx = -8 + 6 => Mx = -1

=> 2*My = Ty + Uy => 2*My = 4 + (-1) => My = 3/2

=> M(-1, 3/2)

Hope this helps!
