Question

6)

The coordinates of K are (-7, 8)
and the coordinates of ] are
(6,-3). Find the coordinates of
the midpoint of JK.

Answer 1

(1/2,5/2)

Explanation:

Given both points, K(-7,8) and J(6,-3). To find the midpoint between J and K, we can use the formula of:

`\displaystyle{ \text{midpoint} = \left( (x_1 + x_2)/(2) ,(y_1 + y_2)/(2) \right)}`

Therefore, substitute in:

`\displaystyle{ \text{midpoint} = \left( ( - 7 +6)/(2) ,( 8 - 3)/(2) \right)} \\ \\ \displaystyle{ \text{midpoint} = \left( ( 1)/(2) ,( 5)/(2) \right)}`

Therefore, the midpoint is (1/2,5/2)
