On a coordinate plane, parallelogram H I J K is shown. Point H is at (negative 2, 2), point I is at (4, 3), point J is at (4, negative 2), and point K is at (negative 2, negative 3).
HIJK is a parallelogram because the midpoint of both diagonals is __________, which means the diagonals bisect each other.

(1,−1)
(1,1)
(1,0)
(0,1)

Answer:  Choice C.   (1,0)

============================================================

Explanation:

Point H is at (-2,2) and J is at (4,-2)

Focusing on the x coordinates, the midpoint is (x1+x2)/2 = (-2+4)/2 = 1.

The y coordinates have a midpoint of (y1+y2)/2 = (2+(-2))/2 = 0.

The midpoint is at (1,0). That's why the answer is choice C.

--------------------------

This next section is optional.

Points I and K are located at (4,3) and (-2,-3) respectively

Averaging the x coordinates gets us (x1+x2)/2 = (4+(-2))/2 = 1

Doing the same for the y coordinates gets us (y1+y2)/2 = (3+(-3))/2 = 0

We end up with the same midpoint (1,0)

The midpoint being the same for both diagonals proves that each diagonal is bisected, ie cut in half.

C is the correct answer
