SOLUTION: what is the coordinates of the midpoint for line segment JK if J(-9, 5) and K(21, -7)

Question 1171714: what is the coordinates of the midpoint for line segment JK if J(-9, 5) and K(21, -7)

take the average of the two x values and the two y values.
add the x values -9 and 21 to get 12. Divide by 2 to get 6. That is the x-coordinate of the midpoint.
the y adds to -2 and half of that is -1.
The answer is (6, -1).
