Question

The coordinates of point J are (5, −6) and the coordinates of the point K are (7, 8).

Answer 1

Answer:

The coordinates of the point one half the distance is (6,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we want to calculate the coordinates one half of the line segment.

This in another way simply means the coordinates of the midpoint of that segment;

Mathematically;

we proceed with this using the midpoint formula

(x,y) = (x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2

From the question (x1,y1) = (5,-6) while (x2,y2) = (7,8)

let’s say

(x,y) = (5 + 7)/2 , (-6 + 8)/2

(x,y) = 12/2, 2/2

(x,y) = (6,1)
