Question

if r is the midpoint of segment am find the midpoint r

Answer 1

If \( r \) is the midpoint of segment \( am \), it means that point \( r \) is located exactly halfway between points \( a \) and \( m \).

To find the coordinates of midpoint \( r \), you can use the midpoint formula. If point \( a \) has coordinates \( (x_a, y_a) \) and point \( m \) has coordinates \( (x_m, y_m) \), then the coordinates of midpoint \( r \) are given by:

\[
r = \left( \frac{x_a + x_m}{2}, \frac{y_a + y_m}{2} \right)
\]

Simply plug in the coordinates of points \( a \) and \( m \) to find the coordinates of midpoint \( r \).
