Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint for line segment JK if J(-9, 5) and K(21.-7)

Answer 1

(6, -1)

Explanation:

The coordinates of the midpoint of a line is [(x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2]. For the given line, JK where J = (-9, 5) = (x₁, y₁) and K = (21,-7) = (x₂, y₂).

So [(x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2]

= [(-9 + 21)/2, (5 + (-7))/2]

= [12/2, (5 - 7)/2]

= [12/2, -2/2]

= (6, -1)
