Explanation

To find the midpoint of two points, we can use the midpoint formula:Midpoint = ((x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2)Given the coordinates of point S as (-5, 4) and point T as (-3, -2), we can substitute these values into the midpoint formula:Midpoint = ((-5 + -3) / 2, (4 + -2) / 2)Simplifying further, we have:Midpoint = (-8 / 2, 2 / 2)Midpoint = (-4, 1)Therefore, the midpoint of S(-5, 4) and T(-3, -2) is (-4, 1).
