Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

J (7, 10)

K (3, 2)

Formula for midpoint:

x - coordinate for M:

y - coordinate for M:

Therefore, M (5,6).

Answer 2

Answer:

$(6,8 )$

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint Formula: $(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )$

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

$(\frac{5+7}{2},\frac{9+7}{2} )$

$(\frac{12}{2},\frac{16}{2} )$

$(6,8 )$
