Q. K(1,8)K(1,8) and L(7,10)L(7,10) 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. Midpoint Formula: Identify the midpoint formula for a line segment.\newlineThe midpoint is the average of the coordinates of the endpoints.\newlineMidpoint formula: ((x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2)((x_1 + x_2)/2 , (y_1 + y_2)/2)
  2. Given Endpoints: Endpoints: K(1,8)K(1, 8) and L(7,10)L(7, 10)\newlineSubstitute (1,8)(1, 8) for (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (7,10)(7, 10) for (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2) into the midpoint formula.\newlineM=(1+72,8+102)M = \left(\frac{1 + 7}{2} , \frac{8 + 10}{2}\right)
  3. Substitute Coordinates: Calculate the coordinates of MM.M=(1+72,8+102)M = \left(\frac{1 + 7}{2} , \frac{8 + 10}{2}\right)M=(82,182)M = \left(\frac{8}{2} , \frac{18}{2}\right)M=(4,9)M = (4 , 9)
