Midpoint Formula

Front

What is the Midpoint Formula?

Back

The Midpoint Formula is used to find the midpoint (M) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) in a coordinate plane. It is given by: M = \left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\right).

Front

Find the midpoint between (2, 3) and (4, 7).

Back

M = \left(\frac{2 + 4}{2}, \frac{3 + 7}{2}\right) = (3, 5).

Front

What is the y-coordinate of the midpoint of the line segment connecting (1, 2) and (3, 4)?

Back

The y-coordinate of the midpoint is \frac{2 + 4}{2} = 3.

Front

Find the midpoint between (-4, 4) and (-2, 2).

Back

M = \left(\frac{-4 + (-2)}{2}, \frac{4 + 2}{2}\right) = (-3, 3).

Front

What is the midpoint of the line segment connecting (0, 0) and (6, 8)?

Back

M = \left(\frac{0 + 6}{2}, \frac{0 + 8}{2}\right) = (3, 4).

Front

If point A is (1, 2) and point B is (5, 6), what is the midpoint?

Back

M = \left(\frac{1 + 5}{2}, \frac{2 + 6}{2}\right) = (3, 4).

Front

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

Back

M = \left(\frac{3 + 7}{2}, \frac{-1 + (-5)}{2}\right) = (5, -3).

Front

Define the term 'midpoint' in geometry.

Back

The midpoint is the point that divides a line segment into two equal parts.

What is the formula to find the x-coordinate of the midpoint?

Back

The x-coordinate of the midpoint is given by: \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}.

Front

What is the formula to find the y-coordinate of the midpoint?

Back

The y-coordinate of the midpoint is given by: \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}.
