The correct expression for the point on the line is [tex]M=\frac{3}{3+5} (2-(-14))+(-14)[/tex]

Midpoint of a line

The formula for expressing the midpoint of a line is expressed as:

[tex]M=\frac{m}{m+n} (x_2-x_1)+x_1[/tex]

Given the following parameters

m=3,

n=5,

x2=2,

x1=-14,

Substitute

[tex]M=\frac{3}{3+5} (2-(-14))+(-14)[/tex]

This given the correct expression for the point on the line
