Answer:

(3.5, 2)

Explanation:

From the attachment, we have:


H = (1,1)


J= (2,3)


K=(6,3)


L = (5,1)

Required

Determine the point of intersection

To do this, we simply calculate the midpoints of the diagonals; which are:

HK and JL

Midpoint is calculated as:


M = (1)/(2)(x_1 + x_2,y_1+y_2)

For HK:


M = (1)/(2)(1+6,1+3)


M = (1)/(2)(7,4)


M = (3.5,2)

For JL:


M = (1)/(2)(2+5,3+1)


M = (1)/(2)(7,4)


M = (3.5,2)

For both diagonals, the coordinate of the midpoint is (3.5, 2).

Hence, the point of intersection is: (3.5, 2)
