Question

How do you find the midpoint of R(7,4), S(11,-10)?

Answer 1

The midpoint `= (9,-3)`

Explanation:

`R (7,4) = color(blue)(x_1 , y_1`

`S(11, - 10) = color(blue)(x_2 , y_2`

The midpoint `=color(blue)((x_1 + x_2 ) / 2 , (y_1 + y_2) /2 )`

`= ((7+11 ) /2 , (4 + (-10)) /2 )`

`= ((18 ) /2 , (-6 ) /2 )`

`= (9,-3)`
