To find the coordinates of the midpoint \( M \) of the line segment joining the points \( A(3, -4) \) and \( B(-1, 10) \), we use the midpoint formula: \(M = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right)\) Substituting the coordinates of points \( A \) and \( B \): - \( x_1 = 3 \) - \( y_1 = -4 \) - \( x_2 = -1 \) - \( y_2 = 10 \) Calculating the coordinates of the midpoint: \(M = \left( \frac{3 + (-1)}{2}, \frac{-4 + 10}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{3 - 1}{2}, \frac{6}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{2}{2}, 3 \right) = (1, 3)\) Thus, the coordinates of the midpoint are (1, 3).
