Midpoint formula

Front

What is the Midpoint Formula?

Back

The Midpoint Formula is used to find the midpoint (M) of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). It is given by M = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2).

Front

How do you find the y-coordinate of the midpoint?

Back

To find the y-coordinate of the midpoint, use the formula: (y1 + y2)/2, where y1 and y2 are the y-coordinates of the endpoints.

Front

Find the midpoint of the segment with endpoints (1, 9) and (-3, 5).

Back

The midpoint is (-1, 7).

Front

What is the significance of the midpoint in geometry?

Back

The midpoint divides a line segment into two equal parts and is equidistant from both endpoints.

Front

Calculate the midpoint between (3, -1) and (7, -5).

Back

The midpoint is (5, -3).

Front

What is the x-coordinate of the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (4, 12) and (-6, 14)?

Back

The x-coordinate of the midpoint is (-1).

Front

If the endpoints of a segment are (-2, 0) and (9, -1), what is the midpoint?

Back

The midpoint is (3.5, -0.5).

Front

What is the formula to find the distance between two points?

Back

The distance formula is d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

How can the midpoint formula be applied in real life?

Back

The midpoint formula can be used in navigation, architecture, and design to find central points.
