Question

kl has endpoints at k(3, 5) and l(3, 7). find the midpoint m of kl. write the coordinates as decimals or integers. m = ( )

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mid - point formula

The mid - point formula for two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $M=(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$. Here, $x_1 = 3,y_1 = 5,x_2 = 3,y_2 = 7$.

Step2: Calculate x - coordinate of mid - point

$x=\frac{3 + 3}{2}=\frac{6}{2}=3$.

Step3: Calculate y - coordinate of mid - point

$y=\frac{5 + 7}{2}=\frac{12}{2}=6$.

Answer:

$(3,6)$
