Question

19.
Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are H(2, 1) and K(10, 7).


(6, 4)


(4, 3)


(12, 8)


(8, 6)

Answer 1

To find the coordinates of the midpoint of segment HK, we can use the midpoint formula:

Midpoint = [(x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2]

Given endpoints H(2, 1) and K(10, 7), we can plug these values into the formula:

Midpoint = [(2 + 10) / 2, (1 + 7) / 2]
Midpoint = [12 / 2, 8 / 2]
Midpoint = [6, 4]

Therefore, the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment HK are (6, 4).

So, the correct answer is:
(6, 4)
