Question

Find the midpoint of segment TS with endpoints T(-6, 2) and S(3, 4).
A.
(-4.5, 3)
B. (-1.5,3)
C.
(-1, -1.5)
D.
(4.5, -3)

Answer 1

TS= square root of (-6-3)squared +(2-4)squared
TS=square root of (-9)squared +(-2)squared
TS=square root of (81+4)
TS= Square root of 85

Answer 2

Well, you're going to have to use the midpoint formula. Do you know what that is? o.e

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

Answer 5

yeah just a sec

Answer 6

K, well the midpoint formula is:\[M=(x1+x2/2, y1+y2/2)\]

Answer 7

Sorry I gave you distance first
Midpoint = (x1+x2/2) , (y1+y2/2)
So since TS is T(-6, 2) and S(3, 4).
TS= (-6+3/2), (2+4/2)
TS= (-3/2),(6/2)
TS= (-3/2),(3)

Answer 8

So, given the two points, -6 will be your x1 and 3 will be your x2.
Similarly, 2 will be your y1 and 4 will be your y2.
Now, just plug them into the equation:
It would be (-6+3/2, 2+4/2)
(-1.5,3) is your answer.
So, B.
Hope this helped :)
