Question

Can somebody please explain to me how to solve for the midpoint & length of line segments?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Here is the question

Answer 2

Any example is fine

Answer 3

Midpoint = (x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2

Answer 4

I know the formula, but I'm unsure of how to apply it

Answer 5

Length of line segments
\[\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}\]

Answer 6

\[\frac{ -2 }{ 7 }=\frac{ -5 + x2 }{ -1 + y2 }\]
Can you solve from there?

Answer 7

Ah they gave you an end point and the mid point. That is so aggravating. You have to find the other end point using the formula y=m*x+b

Answer 8

Okay I see, I think I've got it now! Much thanks to both of you.
