how do i find the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment having given the endpoint?
K(-9,3),H(5,7)
See your previous post for solution.
(4,-3) and (-6,7)

To find the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment, you can use the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula states that the midpoint of a segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the coordinates:
Midpoint = ((x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2)
In your case, the endpoint coordinates are K(-9,3) and H(5,7). To find the midpoint, you can substitute these coordinates into the midpoint formula:
Midpoint = ((-9 + 5) / 2, (3 + 7) / 2)
Simplifying, you get:
Midpoint = (-4/2, 10/2)
Further simplifying, you get:
Midpoint = (-2, 5)
Therefore, the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment with endpoints K(-9,3) and H(5,7) are (-2, 5).
