Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points s = (3,-7) and t = (7,1)
To find the midpoint of a line segment joining two points, you can use the midpoint formula:
Midpoint = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2)
In this case, the coordinates of point S are (3, -7) and the coordinates of point T are (7, 1).
Therefore, the x-coordinates of S and T are 3 and 7, respectively, and the y-coordinates of S and T are -7 and 1, respectively.
Using the midpoint formula:
Midpoint = ((3 + 7)/2, (-7 + 1)/2)
= (10/2, -6/2)
= (5, -3)
Therefore, the midpoint of the line segment joining the points S and T is (5, -3).
