What makes an equation true?

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation is true when certain values are able to be substituted for the variable which is most of the time "x", the values that make an equation true is when the answer has a solution.

for finding the midpoint of any given 2 pair of points simply add the respective x coordinates with other x coordinate and the y coordinate with other y coordinate and divide them by 2

in your question it will be :

(3+1)/2 for the x coordinate of mid point i.e 2

[8+(-4)]/2 for the y coordinate of midpoint i.e 2

so coordinates of mid point of points (3,8) and (1,-4) will be (2,2)
