How do you find the missing endpoint of a segment with an endpoint and a midpoint?
The direction of missing endpoint is the same as the direction from the known end point to the midpoint. The distance from the midpoint to the missing endpoint is the same as the distance from the known end point to the midpoint. In coordinate geometry it is simple. If the known end point is (p, q) and the mid point is (r, s) then the missing point is (2r - p, 2s - q).
How do you find the midpoint of a line?
The midpoint of a line can be found easily by using the midpoint formula. Find the length of the line and simply divide it in two.
How do you find the formula for midpoint?
formula is (x1+x2)/2 (y1+y2) /2
How could you find the y-coordinate of the midpoint of a vertical line segment with endpoint at (00) and (015)?
If you mean endpoints of (0, 0) and (0, 15) then the midpoint is at (0, 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.
