Question

Show that the statement is true. If JK has endpoints J(−2, 1) and K(4, 3), and LN has endpoints L(0, 3) and N(2, 1) then JK and LN have the same midpoint.

Answer 1

yes they both have the same midpoint of (1,2)

Explanation:

For the midpoint of JK

`((-2+4)/(2), (1+3)/(2) )`

`((2)/(2), (4)/(2) )`

(1,2)

then for LN

`((0+2)/(2), (3+1)/(2) )`

`((2)/(2), (4)/(2) )`

(1,2)
