Answer 1

@sooobored

Answer 2

ok, do you know the definition of the midpoint?

Answer 3

No... definition or formula?

Answer 4

the midpoint of a line is the center point on the line or the point that divides the line so the two line segments created are equal to each other

any questions about this?

Answer 5

so 0,0 is the midpoint

Answer 6

or if that doesnt make sense,
if you have a piece of string, and you fold it in half so that both sides are equal, then that fold is the midpoint

Answer 7

you would need two points in order to determine the midpoint, just saying the midpoint is 0,0 doesnt make much sense without knowing what the points are

Answer 8

oh so 0,0 is the vertex

Answer 9

0,0 would be the midpoint between the points (a,a) and (-a,a)

Answer 10

(0,0) is considered the origin, and based on your picture it would be a vertex or corner of the triangle

Answer 11

oh ok

Answer 12

ok, now lets just consider a number line

if we have a point on 1, and a point on 3, what would the midpoint be?

Answer 13

I think I might have figured out the answer... is this correct? http://prntscr.com/d5drpm

Answer 14

yea the boxes are right

Answer 15

what i was trying to get to is, the midpoint between two points, is the sum of the two points divided by 2

Answer 16

on a number line, it would be \[\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}\]
in terms of coordinate points \[\left( \frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} \right)\]
