The midpoint M of a line segment with endpoints J(1, 6) and K(13, 0) can be found by taking the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates.
Average of x-coordinates: (1 + 13) / 2 = 14 / 2 = 7
Average of y-coordinates: (6 + 0) / 2 = 6 / 2 = 3
Therefore, the midpoint M is (7, 3)
J(1, 6) and K(13, 0) are the endpoints of a line segment. What is the midpoint M of that line segment?
Write the coordinates as decimals or integers.
