Question

if P and Q are the midpoints of MT and JK respectively then sketch PQ in the above coordinate plane

Answer 1

Answer:

The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure N 1 to better understand the problem

we know that

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

$Xm(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

step 1

Find the midpoint P of segment MT

we have

M(9,8) and T(-6,-1)

substitute

$P(\frac{9-6}{2},\frac{8-1}{2})$

$P(1.5,3.5)$

step 2

Find the midpoint Q of segment JK

we have

J(7,2) and K(1,-8)

substitute

$Q(\frac{7+1}{2},\frac{2-8}{2})$

$Q(4,-3)$

step 3

Sketch PQ in the above coordinate plane
