Given j(-8,-5) and l(6,-11) if k(r-4,2s) is the midpoint of jl which correctly gives the values of r and s?

Sagot :

The values of r and s is -1 and -4 respectively.

Given that:-

coordinates of j are (-8,-5)

coordinates of l are (6,-11)

coordinates of k are (r-4,2s)

Also, k is the mid-point of jl.

We have to find the values of r and s.

We know that, for  (x,y) and (z,w), the mid-point is ((x+z)/2, (y+w)/2).

Here,

(x,y) = (-8.-5)

(z,w) = (6,-11)

(r-4,2s) = ((x+z)/2,(y+w)/2)

Hence,

(r-4,2s) = ((-8+6)/2,(-5-11)/2)

(r-4,2s) = (-1,-8)

Comparing the coordinates, we get:-

r - 4 = -1

r = -1+4 =3

2s = -8

s =-8/2 = -4
