Question

What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment with end points R(4,-7) and S(-3,5)

Answer 1

use the formula

x1 + x2 , y1 + y2
------ ------
2 2

where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the 2 points.

Answer 2

midpoint is exactly 1/2 way
find the length then 1/2 the number of units
start at one end and move than many units to get the location
