Question

Find the midpoint of segment JT when the coordinates are J(-3,18) and T(7,-10). Show all work

Answer 1

Given two points (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂), the midpoint of the segment will be:
( (x₁+x₂) / 2 , (y₁+y₂)/2 ).
In this case:
J(-3,18)
T(7,-10)

The midpoint will be:
( (-3+7)/2 , (18-10)/2 )=(4/2 , 8/2)=(2, 4).

Answer: the midpoint of segment JT is (2,4)
