Geometry Help

Answer 1

PB has endpoints at -2 and 12. What is the coordinate of its midpoint?

Answer 2

Please teach me how to solve this, don't just give answers. Thanks

Answer 3

to get the midpoint, just take the average of endpoints

add them and divide by 2 ?

Answer 4

that would equal 5

Answer 5

yes, 5 is your correct midpoint :)

Answer 6

to get the mid-point , you always take average, whether the point has one co-ordinate or 2

when points are in x,y plane, points have form (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
their mid point will be ((x1+x2) / 2 , (y1+y2) /2)
just the average of individual co-ordinates :)
any doubts ?

Answer 7

That makes sense :)
