Midpoint Formula

Front

What is the midpoint formula for two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The midpoint M is given by M = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2).

Front

Calculate the midpoint of the points (2, 3) and (4, 7).

Back

The midpoint is (3, 5).

Front

What does the term 'congruent segments' mean in relation to midpoints?

Back

Congruent segments are segments that have the same length. A midpoint divides a segment into two congruent segments.

Front

Find the midpoint of the segment with endpoints (0, 0) and (10, 10).

Back

The midpoint is (5, 5).

Front

If the endpoints of a segment are (a, b) and (c, d), what are the coordinates of the midpoint?

Back

The coordinates of the midpoint are ((a + c)/2, (b + d)/2).

Front

What is the x-coordinate of the midpoint between (8, 2) and (2, 6)?

Back

The x-coordinate is 5.

Front

What is the y-coordinate of the midpoint between (3, 4) and (7, 8)?

Back

The y-coordinate is 6.

Front

True or False: The midpoint of a segment is always located at the same distance from both endpoints.

Back

True.

Front

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

Back

The midpoint is (1, 1).

Front

What is the significance of the midpoint in geometry?

Back

The midpoint is significant as it represents the center point of a line segment, dividing it into two equal parts.
