Question

The coordinates of quadrilateral FGHJ are F(-5, -3), G(-3, 3), H(3, 5), and J(7, -1).

Find the midpoint of Line FG.

(-4, 0)

(5, 2)

(1, -2)

(0, 4)

Answer 1

A.

Explanation:

Answer 2

To find the midpoint of line FG, we have to use the following midpoint formula , which is

`((x_(1)+x_(2))/(2), (y_(1)+y_(2))/(2))`

In the given question,

x1= -5, y1= -3 , x2=-3, y2=3

Substituting the values of x1,y1,x2 and y2 in the formula of the midpoint, we will get

`((-5-3)/(2),(-3+3)/(2)) =(-4,0)`

So the midpoint of the given line is (-4,0) and hence the correct option is the first option .
