\n" ); document.write( "The x coordinates of points S and T are -5 and 3 respectively. They add to $\"-5%2B3+=+-2\"$ . Then we cut that result in half to get $\"-2%2F2+=+-1\"$ . This is the x coordinate of point P.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We repeat the same steps for the y coordinates as well. The y coordinates are 7 and 9 which add to $\"7%2B9+=+16\"$ and then that divides over 2 to get $\"16%2F2+=+8\"$ , which is the y coordinate of point P.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
