Question
find the coordinates of (a) the midpoint and (b) the points of trisection of the segment whose endpoints $\mathbf{S}$ and T are given.$\mathbf{S}(6,-2), \mathbf{T}(1,7)$
Step 1
The midpoint \(M\) of a segment with endpoints \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is given by: \[ M = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right) \] Show more…
