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 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)
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)
If A B C and D are points on a number line B is the midpoint of Ac what is the coordinate?
The 'x' coordinate of B is the average of the 'x' coordinates of A and C. The 'y' coordinate of B is the average of the 'y' coordinates of A and C.
How do you find an endpoint if you are given one endpoint and the midpoint?
If you are only given one endpoint and a midpoint, you know what the middle of the line segment is. Since the midpoint is half of what the line segment's length is, all you have to do is find the distance between the endpoint given and the midpoint, then add that coordinate to your midpoint and get your other endpoint. For example: Endpoint A: (4,5) Midpoint: (6,8) Distance between: (2,3) Add (2,3) to (6,8) and get Endpoint B: (8,11).
