Point M is the midpoint of segment KL. Point N is the midpoint of segment ML.


Point K is located at (-7,-6), and point L is located at (1,10). What are the coordinates of point N?
A.
(-5,-2)
B.
(-2,6)
C.
(-3,2)
D.
(-1,6)


Point M Is The Midpoint Of Segment KL Point N Is The Midpoint Of Segment ML Point K Is Located At 76 And Point L Is Located At 110 What Are The Coordinates Of P class=

Sagot :

D. ( - 1, 6)

To find the coordinates of the point M, take the average of the x coordinates of points K and L and also the average of their y coordinates.

x = (- 7 + 1)/2 = - 6/2 = - 3

y = (- 6 + 10)/2 = 4/2 = 2

Now, you also have to determine the coordinates of point N, which is the midpoint of segment ML.

To find the coordinates of the point N, take the average of the x coordinates of points M and L and also the average of their y coordinates.

x = ( - 3 + 1)/2 = - 2/2 = - 1

y = (2 + 10)/2 = 12/2 = 6

(-1,6)

D

Answer:

  • D. ( - 1, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point K is located at (-7,-6), and point L is located at (1,10).

Point M is the midpoint of segment KL.

Find the coordinates of the point M:

  • x = (- 7 + 1)/2 = - 6/2 = - 3
  • y = (- 6 + 10)/2 = 4/2 = 2

Point N is the midpoint of segment ML.

Find the coordinates of the point N:

  • x = ( - 3 + 1)/2 = - 2/2 = - 1
  • y = (2 + 10)/2 = 12/2 = 6

Correct choice is D
