Q. J(4,5)J(4,5) and K(10,9)K(10,9) are the endpoints of a line segment. What is the midpoint MM of that line segment?\newlineWrite the coordinates as decimals or integers.\newlineM=(_,_)M = (\_,\_)
  1. Identify Midpoint Formula: Identify the midpoint formula for a line segment.\newlineThe midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2) is given by the formula:\newlineMidpoint M=(x1+x22,y1+y22)M = \left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\right).
  2. Apply Formula to Endpoints: Apply the midpoint formula to the given endpoints J(4,5)J(4,5) and K(10,9)K(10,9). Substitute (4,5)(4, 5) for (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (10,9)(10, 9) for (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2) into the midpoint formula. M=(4+102,5+92)M = \left(\frac{4 + 10}{2}, \frac{5 + 9}{2}\right).
  3. Calculate Midpoint Coordinates: Calculate the coordinates of the midpoint MM.M=(4+102,5+92)=(142,142)=(7,7)M = \left(\frac{4 + 10}{2}, \frac{5 + 9}{2}\right) = \left(\frac{14}{2}, \frac{14}{2}\right) = (7, 7).
