Question

What is the midpoint of the line segment with the endpoints J(–9, –4) and K(7, 8)? (–5, –1) (–2, 1) (–1, 2) (3, 5)

Answer 1

(-1,2)

Explanation:

Recall the midpoint formula:

`(x^1+x^2)/(2)` to solve for the X coordinate and
`(y^1+y^2)/(2)` to solve for Y.

Replace the variables with their appropriate numbers.

`X((-9+7)/(2))`
`Y((-4+8)/(2))`

`X((-2)/(2) )`
`Y((4)/(2) )`

`X(-1)`
`Y(2)`

Therefore, the answer is (-1,2)
