Geometry 1.3- Midpoint

Front

What is the midpoint of a line segment?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the midpoint of two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Use the midpoint formula: M = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2).

Front

Find the midpoint of segment RS with endpoints R(-1, 1) and S(1, -1).

Back

The midpoint is (0, 0).

Front

What is the midpoint of segment MP with endpoints M(2, 3) and P(3, 2)?

Back

The midpoint is (2.5, 2.5).

Front

What is the formula for the midpoint of a segment?

Back

M = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2).

Front

Find the midpoint of segment TU with endpoints T(1, ½) and U(-1, -½).

Back

The midpoint is (0, 0).

Front

What is the midpoint of the segment between (-15, 4) and (2, -10)?

Back

The midpoint is (-6.5, -3).

Front

If the endpoints of a segment are (4, 6) and (8, 10), what is the midpoint?

Back

The midpoint is (6, 8).

Front

What is the significance of the midpoint in geometry?

Back

The midpoint is important for dividing segments into equal parts and for finding center points.

Front

How can you verify the midpoint of a segment?

Back

You can verify by checking if the distances from the midpoint to each endpoint are equal.
