Finding Midpoints in Coordinate Geometry

This video tutorial explains how to find the midpoint between two points, which is useful for determining halfway points on a map. The process involves calculating the average of the x and y coordinates separately. The video includes examples and practice problems to reinforce the concept.

What is the practical use of finding a midpoint between two points?

• To determine the slope of a line

• To find the exact center point between two locations

• To calculate the distance between two points

• To measure the angle between two lines

How do you find the midpoint of the x-coordinates between two points?

• By subtracting the smaller x-coordinate from the larger one

• By finding the difference between the x-coordinates

• By adding the x-coordinates and dividing by two

• By multiplying the x-coordinates

What is the midpoint of the x-coordinates 8 and -6?

• 1

• 0

• -1

• 2

What is the midpoint of the y-coordinates if they are 4 and 0?

• 1

• 4

• 2

• 0

If the y-coordinates are 3 and 1, what is their midpoint?

• 2

• 1

• 4

• 3

What is the final midpoint of the points (8, 4) and (-6, 0)?

• (1, 1)

• (0, 0)

• (2, 1)

• (1, 2)

What is the general method to find the midpoint between two points on a graph?

• Divide the coordinates

• Find the average of the x-coordinates and y-coordinates

• Multiply the coordinates

• Subtract the coordinates
