Question

midpoint formula?

Answer 1

distance/2

Answer 2

Find the midpoint between (–1, 2) and (3, –6).

Apply the Midpoint Formula:

midpoint is (1, -2)

So the answer is P = (1, –2).

Technically, the Midpoint Formula is the following:

[(x_1 + x_2)/2 , (y_1 + y_2)/2]

But as long as you remember that you're averaging the two points' x- and y-values, you'll do fine. It won't matter which point you pick to be the "first" point you plug in.

Find the midpoint between (6.4, 3) and (–10.7, 4).

Apply the Midpoint Formula:

P = (-2.15, 3.5)

So the answer is P = (–2.15, 3.5)

Find the value of p so that (–2, 2.5) is the midpoint between (p, 2) and (–1, 3).

I'll apply the Midpoint Formula: Copyright © Elizabeth Stapel 2000-2011 All Rights Reserved

( [p - 1]/2 , 2.5 ) = ( -2, 2.5 ]

This reduces to needing to figure out what p is, in order to make the x-values work:

p = -3

So the answer is p = –3.

Answer 3

lol .... that aint the midpoint formula, that a novel

Answer 4

(x_2+x_1/2 , y_1+y_2/2)

Answer 5

lol thank you

Answer 6

welcome! lol

Answer 7

pretty much ..... thats it:

add your ys and divide by 2

add your xs and divide by 2
