Q(5,5) ND R(1,3) are the endpoints of a line segment. hat is the midpoint M of that line segment? Write the coordinates as decimals or integers.

To find the midpoints, we will use the formula below:
[tex](x_m,y_m)=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\text{ }\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})[/tex]The points given are:
Q(5,5) R(1,3)
The coordinates are:
x₁= 5 y₁=5 x₂=1 y₂=3
substitute the values into the formula and evaluate
[tex](x_m,y_m)=(\frac{5+1}{2},\text{ }\frac{5+3}{2})[/tex][tex]=(\frac{6}{2},\text{ }\frac{8}{2})[/tex][tex]=(3,\text{ 4)}[/tex]Hence the coordinates of the midpoints are (3, 4)
