Question

Find the midpoint of KL- PLEASE HELP- I SUCK AT MATH

Answer 1

`(2, (1)/(2) )`

Explanation:

K (1, 3)

L (3, -2)

`midpoint = ( (x1 + x2)/(2) , (y1 + y2)/(2) )`

`= ( (1 + 3)/(2) , (3 - 2)/(2) )`

`= (2, (1)/(2) )`

Answer 2

midpoint of KL = (2,
`(1)/(2)` )

Explanation:

given endpoints (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint (M) is

M = (
`(x_(1)+x_(2) )/(2)` ,
`(y_(1)+y_(2) )/(2)` )

let (x₁, y₁ ) = K (1, 3 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = L (3, - 2 )

substitute these values into the formula for M

M = (
`(1+3)/(2)` ,
`(3-2)/(2)` ) = (
`(4)/(2)` ,
`(1)/(2)` ) = ( 2,
`(1)/(2)` )
