Question

Oneee more lol

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are (10, 6) and (-4, 8).

@Yttrium

Answer 1

I'm horrible at remembering the formulas because I just started this advanced school and didnt learn any of this before so I'm just kinda stuck! Lol.

Answer 2

It's easy. Just get the averages of coordinates at x and y and that's it. :)

Answer 3

at a time, practice few problems which use same formula!
you'll remember that formula for long time :)

Answer 4

In short, add them and just divide by two. Separate from x and y and you will form the coordinates of it's midpoint.

Answer 5

yeah, an if you want the equation of the formula,
The co-ordinates of midpoint(x,y) on the line segment with end-points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is just the average of co-ordinates, given by :
\(\large x=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}\)
\(\large y=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\)
now,just put the values and find the co-ordinates of midpoint (x,y).

Answer 6

So basically \[\frac{ x1 + x2 }{ 2 } and \frac{ x1+y1 }{ 2 }\]

Answer 7

?

Answer 8

Yup @CrayolaCrayon_

Answer 9

Ahh I thought so!

Answer 10

(y1+y2)/2 ***
but i think you meant that only

Answer 11

Oh yes, that is what I meant!

Answer 12

so what mid-point you got for (10, 6) and (-4, 8). ??

Answer 13

so it's \[\frac{ 10+6 }{ 2 } and \frac{ -4+8 }{ 2 }\] ?

Answer 14

nopes, what u did is you added x and y co-ordinates
you needed to add x co-ordinates of both points

Answer 15

x1 = 10
x2 = -4
x= ... ?

Answer 16

Oh oops wait!

Answer 17

\[\frac{ 10-4}{ 2} and \frac{ 6+8 }{ }\]

Answer 18

oops, forgot the 2 lol

Answer 19

yes, and those = ... ?
simplify

Answer 20

\[\frac{ 16 }{ 2 } and \frac{ 14 }{ 2 } \rightarrow \frac{ 8 }{ 1 } and \frac{ 7 }{ 1 } \rightarrow\] 8 and 7

Answer 21

where does 16 come from ?
10-4 = ... ?

Answer 22

oopsss! I'm so tired I can't think straight lol. I accidentally added. Make that 3 and 7 haha

Answer 23

(3,7)

Answer 24

you are \(\huge \color{red}{\checkmark}\)

Answer 25

thank you!

Answer 26

welcome ^_^
