Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment with endpoints J(3, -6) and K(4,

-7).
A. 7, -13)
B. (-1, 1)
C. (-0.5, 0.5)
D. (3.5.-6.5)

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

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

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

Here (x₁, y₁ ) = J(3, - 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = K(4, - 7) , then

midpoint = (
`(3+4)/(2)` ,
`(-6-7)/(2)` ) = (
`(7)/(2)` ,
`(-13)/(2)` ) = (3.5, - 6.5 )
