Question

use the image to answer the question
find midpoint ( m ) of the line segment with endpoints ( j(1.2,3.4) ) and ( k(4.8,-2.3) ). if the solution includes a decimal, do not round
(1 point)
the midpoint ( m ) of segment ( overline{j k} ) is at (□□)

Explanation:

Step1: Find the x - coordinate of the midpoint

Use the midpoint formula for the x - coordinate: $\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}$. Here $x_1=1.2$ and $x_2 = 4.8$.
$\frac{1.2+4.8}{2}=\frac{6}{2}=3$

Step2: Find the y - coordinate of the midpoint

Use the midpoint formula for the y - coordinate: $\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}$. Here $y_1 = 3.4$ and $y_2=-2.3$.
$\frac{3.4+( - 2.3)}{2}=\frac{3.4 - 2.3}{2}=\frac{1.1}{2}=0.55$

Answer:

$(3,0.55)$
