Question

JK has endpoints at J(5,9) and K(7, 7). Find the midpoint M of JK.

Write the coordinates as decimals or integers.

Answer 1

`(6,8 )`

Explanation:

Midpoint Formula:
`((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2) )`

Simply plug in your coordinates into the midpoint formula to find midpoint:

`((5+7)/(2),(9+7)/(2) )`

`((12)/(2),(16)/(2) )`

`(6,8 )`
