Question is not written properly neigher picture is provided so I rearranged question as follows:

K is mid point of JH where coordinate of the end points are (1,-7) and (9,3). Now question says to find the mid point of the line joining points (1,-7) and (9,3).

Answer:

we just need to apply mid point formula:

Mid point
= \left((\left(x_1+x_2\right))/(2),(\left(y_1+y_2\right))/(2)\right)

There (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the given end points. So plug the given values.


= \left((\left(1+9\right))/(2),(\left(-7+3\right))/(2)\right)


= \left((\left(10\right))/(2),(\left(-4\right))/(2)\right)


= (5,-2)

Hence final answer is (5,-2).
