Question

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment having the given endpoints. K(-9,3)
H(5,7).

a. (2,5)
b. (-7,-2)
c. (-7.5, -2)
d. (5,2)


How do i do this?

Answer 1

First, graph the two points on graph paper.

For K, go left 9 spaces and up 3 spaces from your center. Make a dot.

For H, go right 5 spaces and up 7 spaces. Make a dot.

Connect the dots to make the line segment.

Now use a ruler to locate the middle of the line. Which dot is it at?

a. Is the midpoint right 2 spaces and up 5?
b. Is the midpoint left seven spaces and down 2?
c. Is the midpoint left 7.5 spaces and down 2?
d. Is the midpoint right 5 spaces and up 2?

I hope this helps, and good luck! :o)

Answer 2

You are given that the two points are (-9,3) and (5,7), so just find the middle of that line.

Since -2 is the average of -9 and 5, -2 is the x value

Since 5 is the average of 3 and 7, the y value is 5

The coordinates of the midpoint should be (-2,5), so there must be a typo in the answers or the question.

Answer 3

-2, 5 is the correct answer

-2 is 7 away from -9 and also 7 away from +5 putting in in the midpoint

5 is 2 away from both 3 and 7 also making this the midpoint

Answer 4

I don't understand your exact question. In general, the midpoint of a line segment can be found by using X = the average of the X of the two endpoints, and Y = the average of the Y of the two endpoints, where average means add them and divide by 2.

Answer 5

Algebra is easer than drawing and measuring. A midpoint can always be found with the following:

(x,y) = ({[x1+x2]/2}, {[y1+y2]/2)

So using your question:

(x,y) = ({[-9 + 5]/2}, {[3 + 7]/2)
= (-4/2, 10/2)
=(-2,5)

If you draw this, it looks like it should be around there, so unless I'm waaayyy to tired (which is quite possible), I think you needed to add a negative sign in answer a.

Answer 6

your x coordinates are -9[k] and 5[h] you add them then divide by 2. -9+5=-4 divided by 2= 2.

then, you take the y coordinates and do the same thing. 3[k]+7[h]=10 divided by 2= 5.

so your answer is (-2,5)

Answer 7

fairly, the only element that i will discover in hassle-free with sacred geometry and alchemy is they the two cope with varieties of spirituality. Sacred geometry bargains with using geometric varieties and shapes interior the layout and shape of church homes, temples, mosques or anyplace of non secular amassing. those specific shapes advise specific issues, counting on the religion or perception gadget. as an occasion, the pentagram in Christianity refers back to the 5 senses. In Catholicism, it may in specific circumstances consult with the devil, or the Evil One. Alchemy bargains with the approach of turning metals into gold, making use of chemical compounds and technology. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, Alchemy is likewise a perception in looking the ideal information with the aid of chemistry. for this reason, alchemy is a spirituality all its very own. All in all, the only element that i will work out in hassle-free between the two is they the two cope with a sort, or varieties, of spirituality.

Answer 8

Are you certain those are the allowable answers? No typo? The correct answer isn't among them.

Hint: It appears there is a minus sign missing on one of them

Answer 9

i think letter A..
