Informal Geometry - Midpoint Formula Assignment

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

Find the midpoint of the segment with endpoints (6, 7) and (6, -5).

Back

(6, 1)

Front

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

Back

(5, 5)

Front

What is the midpoint between (3, -1) and (7, -5)?

Back

(5, -3)

Front

How do you calculate the midpoint of two points?

Back

Add the x-coordinates and divide by 2 for the x-coordinate of the midpoint. Add the y-coordinates and divide by 2 for the y-coordinate of the midpoint.

Front

If the endpoints of a segment are (a, b) and (c, d), what is the x-coordinate of the midpoint?

Back

(a + c) / 2

Front

If the endpoints of a segment are (a, b) and (c, d), what is the y-coordinate of the midpoint?

Back

(b + d) / 2

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

Find the midpoint of the segment with endpoints (0, 0) and (4, 4).

Back

(2, 2)

Front

What is the midpoint of the segment with endpoints (-2, 3) and (2, -1)?

Back
