Question

what is the coordinate of the midpoint of KL write your answer as an integer or a decimal or mixed number in simplest form

Answer 1

(-14.5, 0)

Explanations:

The formula for finding the midpoint of two coordinates is expressed as;

`m(x,y)=((x_(1+)x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2))`

For the given coordinates of K and L, since there is no y-axis, hence:

K = (-16, 0)

L = (-13, 0)

Get the midpoint of KL;

`\begin{gathered} m_(kl)=((-16+(-13))/(2),(0+0)/(2)) \\ m_(kl)=((-16-13)/(2),(0)/(2)) \\ m_(kl)=(-(29)/(2),0) \\ m_(kl)=(-14.5,0) \end{gathered}`

Hence the midpoint of KL will be at (-14.5, 0)
