Question

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

Find the midpoint of FJ
A) (0,4)
B) (1, -2)
C) (-4, 0)
D) (5, 2)
This is a question from my math chapter 20: Figures in the Coordinate Plane

Answer 1

i think that is C i had that one but i forget

hope that help

BMK

Answer 2

B.
`(1,-2)`

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that coordinates of quadrilateral FGHJ are F(-5, -3), G(-3, 3), H(3, 5), and J(7, -1). We are asked to find the coordinates of mid-point of segment FJ.

We will use mid-point formula to solve our given problem.

`\text{Mid-point}=(x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2)`

Upon substituting the coordinates of points F and J in mid-point formula we will get,

`\text{Mid-point}=(-5+7)/(2),(-3+-1)/(2)`

`\text{Mid-point}=(2)/(2),(-4)/(2)`

`\text{Mid-point}=1,-2`

Therefore, the coordinates of mid-point of segment FJ are
`(1,-2)` and option B is the correct choice.
