Point K is the midpoint of segment JL. If the coordinates of point J are (5, 13), and the coordinates of point L are (7, 25), what are the coordinates of point K?

Step-by-step explanation:

If K is the midpoint of segment JL and the coordinates of point J are (5, 13), and the coordinates of point L are (7, 25), to get the coordinate of K, we will find the mid point of coordinate J and L using the midpoint formula;

M(X, Y) = (x₁+x₂/2, y₁+y₂/2)

From the coordinates, x₁ = 5, y₁ = 13, x₂ = 7 and y₂ = 25

M(X, Y) = (5+7/2, 13+25/2)

M(X, Y) = (12/2, 38/2)

M(X, Y) = (6, 19)

Hence the coordinates of point K is (6, 19)

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.
