Question

Find the midpoint M of the line segment joining the points S = (-3, -6) and T = (5, 4).
M =

Answer 1

• S(-3,-6)
• T(5,4)

Let's use midpoint formula

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow M(x,y)=\left(\dfrac{x_1+y_1}{2},\dfrac{x_2+y_2}{2}\right)$

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow M(x,y)=\left(\dfrac{-3+5}{2},\dfrac{-6+4}{2}\right)$

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow M(x,y)=\left(\dfrac{2}{2},\dfrac{-2}{2}\right)$

$\\ \tt\hookrightarrow M(x,y)=(1,-1)$
