Question

The coordinates of quadrilateral FGHJ are F(-5,-3) G(-3,3) H(3,5) and J(7,-1). Find the midpoint of HJAnswers: A.(1,-2)B.(5,2)C.(0,4)D.(-4,0)

Answer 1

B. (5, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of a midpoint of a segment that goes from (x1, y1) yo (x2, y2) are

`((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2))`

So, the midpoint of HJ can be founded replacing (x1, y1) by H(3, 5) and (x2, y2) by J(7, -1)

`((3+7)/(2),(5+(-1))/(2))=((10)/(2),(4)/(2))_{}=(5,2)_{}`

Therefore, the answer is

B. (5, 2)
