What methods could you use to calculate the x coordinate of the midpoint of a horizontal segment with the endpoints of 12 0 and 12 0?
The two points are exactly the same so there is no line segment.
Why a line segment has only one midpoint but can have many bisectors?
All bisectors intersect the line segment at the midpoint. There can be multiple bisectors, intersecting at the midpoint at different angles, but they all intersect the line segment at its midpoint. The midpoint separates the line segment into two equal halves.
What of a segment is a line segment or ray that is perpendicular to a segment at its midpoint?
Perpendicular Bisector
How do you find midpoint of a segment?
Take a compass, extend it about 3/4 of the length of the segment. Then from one end of the segment, draw a 180 degree arc. From the other end draw another arc. Connect the points where the arcs intersect. Where the line intersects with the segment is the midpoint of the segment. That is how you bisect a segment to find the midpoint - geometrically.
How many midpoints does a line segment contain?
it depends on how long or how many joining segments it has. normally one line segment contains only one midpoint. Unless it has a joining segment there is only one midpoint.
How do you find the coordinate of the midpoint of a line segment?
The 'x' coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the 'x' coordinates of the segment's ends. The 'y' coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the 'y' coordinates of the segment's ends.
A segment has endpoints at -13 19 and 4 -7 What is the x-coordinate of the midpoint of that segment?
End-points are (-13, 19) and (4, -7). The midpoint of the segment is (-4.5, 6). The X-coordinate is-4.5 we discuss about it.
The endpoints of a line segment graphed on a Cartesian coordinate system are (-2, 6) and (1, 2) What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment?
The endpoints of a line segment graphed on a Cartesian coordinate system are (2, -5) and (-4, 2). What are the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment?
What is the coordinate of the midpoint of the segment -4 and 7?
If you mean that the line segment endpoints are (-4, 0) and (7, 0) then the midpoint is (1.5, 0)
A segment has endpoints at 2 -15 and 8 4 What is the y-coordinate of the midpoint of that segment?
-5.5
A segment has endpoints at -13 19 and 4 -7 What is the x coordinate of the midpoint of that segment?
-4.5
A segment has endpoints at -11 12 and 8 -5 What is the x-coordinate of the midpoint of that segment?
-1.5 :]
is this statement true or falseThe x-coordinate of the midpoint of a segment is the average of the x-coordinates of the endpoints of the segment.?
true
Which method could you use to calculate the y-coordinate of the midpoint of a vertical line segment with endpoint at 0 0 and 0 15?
Each coordinate of the midpoint of a straight line segment is the arithmetic mean of the coordinates of the endpoints. So the y-coordinate is (0+15)/2 = 7.5
What methods could you use to calculate the x-coordinate of the midpoint of a horizontal segment?
To calculate the x-coordinate of the midpoint of a horizontal segment, you simply take the sum of x-coordinate of the endpoints of the horizontal segment and divide this by two. An example is if one is given endpoints with th x and y coordinates 2,3 and 5,6. To find the midpoint of the x-coordinates add 2 and 5 and divide this by 2, or 7/2.
What methods could you use to calculate the x coordinate of the midpoint of a horizontal segment with the endpoints of -6 0 and 6 0?
You could use algebra (see below for how to do that), or you could graph the line and measure it.Using algebraThe x-coordinate of the midpoint of a line segment is the average of the x-coordinates of the end-points. 1/2(-6 + 6) = 0The y-coordinate of the midpoint of a line segment is the average of the y-coordinates of the end-points.1/2(0 + 0) = 0The midpoint of the given horizontal segment is the origin, (0, 0) .
The endpoints of a line segment graphed on a cartesian coordinate system are 2 -5 and -4 2 what are the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment?
-1,-1.5
