Question

Please help!
In the figure below, P is the midpoint of LM, and Q is the midpoint of MN. Use the Midpoint formula to find the location of point P and point Q.

Answer 1

Answer:

P= (5.5, 8)

Q=(8.5,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of L: (2,7)

Coordinates of M: (9,9)

Coordinates of N: (8,1)

Midpoint formula is: $\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$

P is the midpoint of LM, so the coordinates of P will be ((2+9)/2,(7+9)/2)

P's coordinates are (5.5, 8)

Q is the midpoint of MN, so the coordinates of Q will be ((9+8)/2,(9+1)/2)

Q's coordinates are (8.5,5)
