To find the midpoint M of a line segment with end points R(x_1, y_1) and S(x_2, y_2), you use the midpoint formula:
M = ((x_1 + x_2) / 2, (y_1 + y_2) / 2)
Given the points R(-5, 4) and S(3, 2), we substitute these coordinates into the formula:
M = ((-5 + 3) / 2, (4 + 2) / 2)
M = (-2 / 2, 6 / 2)
M = (-1, 3)
So, the midpoint of the line segment RS is (-1, 3). The correct answer is:
(−1, 3)
