Answer 1

Answer:

$(2,1)$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define points

J (4, 6)

K (0, -4)

Step 2: Find midpoint

1. Substitute:                         $(\frac{4+0}{2},\frac{6-4}{2})$
2. Add/Subtract:                    $(\frac{4}{2},\frac{2}{2})$
3. Divide:                               $(2,1)$
