Learn how to find the midpoint between two points, (4, 7) and (2, 1)

The video tutorial explains how to find the midpoint between two points, starting with a basic understanding using a number line and progressing to coordinate geometry. It introduces the midpoint formula, demonstrating its application with examples, and emphasizes the algebraic process of averaging the x and y coordinates to find the midpoint.

What are the coordinates of points A and B in the given problem?

• A(4, 7) and B(2, 1)

• A(2, 1) and B(4, 7)

• A(5, 3) and B(2, 4)

• A(3, 5) and B(1, 2)

How do you find the midpoint on a number line?

• Subtract the smaller value from the larger one

• Add the two values and divide by two

• Multiply the two values and divide by two

• Find the average of the two values

What is the first step in finding the midpoint of two coordinate points?

• Multiply the X and Y coordinates

• Add the X coordinates

• Divide the X coordinates by the Y coordinates

• Subtract the Y coordinates

What is the midpoint of the X coordinates for points A(4, 7) and B(2, 1)?

• 2

• 3

• 4

• 5

What is the final midpoint of points A(4, 7) and B(2, 1)?

• (3, 4)

• (4, 3)

• (5, 2)

• (2, 5)
