To find the midpoint of a line segment, we can use the midpoint formula:
Midpoint (M) = ( (x1 + x2) / 2 , (y1 + y2) / 2)
Given the endpoints R(18, 17) and S(13, 17), we can substitute these values into the formula to find the midpoint M:
M = ( (18 + 13) / 2 , (17 + 17) / 2)
= ( (31) / 2 , (34) / 2)
= ( 15.5 , 17)
Therefore, the coordinates of the midpoint M are (15.5, 17).
