Question

What are the coordinates of the endpoints of the midsegment for △JKL that is parallel to KL⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯? Enter your answers in the boxes.

Answer 1

The coordinates are (-1, -3), (1, -3)

Explanation:

Answer 2

The points you are looking for are the midpoints of segments JL and JK.
J(-2, -1), K(4, -5), L(0, -5)

The midpoint of segment JL is

(-2 + 0)/2, (-1 + (-5))/2) = (-2/2, -6/2) = (-1, -3)

The midpoint of segment JK is

(-2 + 4)/2, (-1 + (-5))/2) = (2/2, -6/2) = (1, -3)

Answer: The coordinates are (-1, -3), (1, -3)
