Wouldn't it be K?  Because you are finding the very midpoint or like the average.

It might be. Isn't there a formula for midpoints in Geometry?

anonymous · Answer

We yea there probably is but all you need to find is the middle point between the two points. So you could solved geometrically and say that N = 0 and H = -6.  So 0 - 6 = -6.  Half of -6 = -3.  -3 = K

Yea you have to watch out for that.  Math is pretty tricky so sometimes it is good to look outside the box.  Im in Precalc AB right now and it is pretty hard.
