Question

JK has endpoints at J(10, 5) and K(8, 1). Find the midpoint M of JK.

Write the coordinates as decimals or integers.

Answer 1

M = (9, 3 )

Explanation:

the midpoint M is the average of the x and y coordinates

given J (10, 5 ) and K (8, 1 ) , then

M = (
`(10+8)/(2)` ,
`(5+1)/(2)` ) = (
`(18)/(2)` ,
`(6)/(2)` ) = (9, 3 )
