To get the midpoint between two points, the x-coordinate of the resulting point is the average of the x-coordinates of your two points. Similar for the y-coordinate. Take the average of the endpoints, calculate the average of the x-coordinates.
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) .
Just calculate the midpoint (which is the same as the average) of both the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates.
The methods you could use to calculate the x-coordinate of the midpoint of a horizontal segment with endpoints at 0 0 and 20 0 would be: Divide 20 by 2 Count by hand -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The easiest way to calculate the x-coordinate of the midpoint of any line segment is to add the x-coordinates of the end points together and divide by 2; similarly for the y-coordinates. In this case, the x-coordinate of the midpoint is (20 + 0)/2 = 20/2 = 5
Endpoints: (1, -6) and (-3, 4) Midpoint: (-1, -1)
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.
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?
The midpoint formula is a formula used to find the midpoint of a line segment on a coordinate plane. It is calculated by averaging the x-coordinates of the endpoints and averaging the y-coordinates of the endpoints. The midpoint can be seen as the point that divides the line segment into two equal parts.
true
Endpoints: (3.2, 2.5) and (1.6, -4.5)Midpoint: (2.4, -1)
Add the x coordinates then divide by 2 Add the y coordinates then divide by 2 Therefore midpoint is at: (10, 0)
(7,4)
The midpoint is at (7, 6)
To get the midpoint between two points, the x-coordinate of the resulting point is the average of the x-coordinates of your two points. Similar for the y-coordinate. Take the average of the endpoints, calculate the average of the x-coordinates.
Take the average of the x-coordinates, and the average of the y-coordinates.
