Bot GPT 4-o mini To find the midpoint \( M \) of the line segment with endpoints \( J(1.2, 3.4) \) and \( K(4.8, -2.3) \), you can use the midpoint formula:
\[ M = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right) \]
where \( (x_1, y_1) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) \) are the coordinates of points \( J \) and \( K \).
Subtracting the coordinates:
-
For the x-coordinates: \[ \frac{1.2 + 4.8}{2} = \frac{6.0}{2} = 3.0 \]
-
For the y-coordinates: \[ \frac{3.4 + (-2.3)}{2} = \frac{3.4 - 2.3}{2} = \frac{1.1}{2} = 0.55 \]
Therefore, the midpoint \( M \) of segment \( JK \) is at \( (3.0, 0.55) \).
So the final answer is: \[ M(3.0, 0.55) \]
