How do you find the midpoint when doing math?

Answer 1

Hi

You take two graph points x,y and x1,y1

Use the midpoint equation :

(x1+x)/2 = midpoint x , and (y1+y)/2 = midpoint y

For a example

(1,3) and ( 4,5)

What the midpoint of it?

Midpoint x = (4+1)/2 = 5/2 = 2 1/2

Midpoint y = (5+3)/2 = 8/2 = 4

So the midpoint of points (1,3) and (4,5) is ( 2 1/2 , 4 )

Just graph it and will see for yourself it works.

Answer 2

First, you have to put all the numbers in the data in order. Then you just find the number in the middle! If there are two numbers in the middle, then you have to add them together and divide by 2.
