Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Midpoint Formula
Find the midpoint on the line segment from (2, 3) to (4, 1).
(6, 4)
(2, 2)
(3, 2)
(2, –2)
(–2, 2)
(3, 2)
By using the midpoint formula, we can find the x and y coodinantes fo the midpoint.
Our coordinates are (3, 2).
Example Question #831 : Functions And Lines
Point X (2, 9) and Point Y (8, 3) are endpoints on a line segment. What is the Midpoint M of that line segment?
To find the midpoint of a line segment, you add together the components and divide by two (
= 5) , do the same for
(
=6). The answer is (5, 6).
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Midpoint Of A Line Segment
What is the midpoint of the points (3,12) and (9,15)?
To find the midpoint we must know the midpoint formula which is
We then take the -coordinate from the first point and plug it into the formula as
.
We take the -coordinate from the second point and plug it into the formula as
.
We then do the same for and
.
With all of the points plugged in our equation will look like this.
We then perform the necessary addition and division to get the answer of
Example Question #6 : Midpoint Formula
Find the midpoint of the line segment that connects the two points below.
Point 1:
Point 2:
The average of the the -coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates of the given points will give you the mid-point of the line that connects the points.
, where
is
and
is
.
Example Question #2 : How To Find The Midpoint Of A Line Segment
Find the midpoint that falls between and
.
The midpoint formula is .
When we plug in our points, we get .
So, our final answer is .
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Midpoint Of A Line Segment
A line is drawn from (2,4) to (8,28). What are the coordinates of its midpoint?
The length to the midpoint is the difference between the two points divided by two. That number must then be added to the point:
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Midpoint Of A Line Segment
A line segment begins at and ends at the point
. What is the location of its midpoint?
The difference in -values is 14 and the difference in
-values is 8. The midpoint therefore differs by values of 7 and 4 from either of the endpoints.
Example Question #5 : How To Find The Midpoint Of A Line Segment
Example Question #6 : How To Find The Midpoint Of A Line Segment
A line has endpoints of and
. What is its midpoint?
The midpoint formula is
To find the midpoint of and
, you simply plug in the points into the midpoint formula:
, which gives you the point
.
Example Question #7 : How To Find The Midpoint Of A Line Segment
A line has endpoints of and
. What is its midpoint?
None of the other answers
You can find the midpoint of the line by using the midpoint formula: . Plug the endpoints into the formula to get
, or
.
