2. Given R (6, -2) and S (8, 12), find the midpoint of RS.

You need to find the slope of the two points given, then you need to add or subtract (depending on if the slope is increasing or decreasing). Once you find the slope add or subtract the answer onto R or S.

Step-by-step explanation:

SLOPE FORMULA-

y2-y1 / x2-x1

step-by-step explanation:

we need to solve for 'x' the following equation:  

we have that:
