You're on the right track, but that's a rather imprecise ... not to say 'sloppy' ... way to say it.

The "value" of a point on the line is a meaningless concept. And averaging two points gives

only the location of the point midway between those two points.

The 'x' coordinate of the midpoint of a line segment is the average of the 'x' coordinates of its ends.

The 'y' coordinate of the midpoint of a line segment is the average of the 'y' coordinates of its ends.

How do you find the midpoint of (-8-3) and (410)?

Not too sure of (410) because it could mean (4, 10) or (41, 0) But the midpoint is found by: (x1+x2)/2 and (y1+y2)/2 which will give the midpoint of (x, y)


What is the midsegment formula?

Median of a trapezoid is a line segment found on the midpoint of the legs of a trapezoid. It is also known as mid-line or mid-segment. Its basic formula is AB + CD divided by 2.


Which diagram shows the graph of y equals -x-3?

I can not graph for you, but two points can be found. Zero out X and Y. -X - 3 = 0 -X = 3 X = - 3 Y = - 3, of course Draw a line from the second quadrant into the third quadrant and through the fourth quadrant connecting these two points into a descending line.


What are the types of smooth-line graph?

1. PICTORIAL GRAPHS. These are the kind found in mathematics and physics textbooks. Their purpose is to simply and clearly illustrate a mathematical relation. No attempt is made to show data points or errors on such a graph.2. DISPLAY GRAPHS. These present the data from an experiment. They are found in laboratory reports, research journals, and sometimes in textbooks. They show the data points as well as a smooth line representing the mathematical relation.3. COMPUTATIONAL GRAPHS. These are drawn for the purpose of extracting a numerical result from the data. An example is the calculation of the slope of a straight line graph, or its intercepts.


What is a line in math?

The shortest distance between any 2 points. An ideal zero-width, infinitely long, perfectly straight curve (the term curve in mathematics includes "straight curves") containing an infinite number of points. In Euclidean geometry, exactly one line can be found that passes through any two points.A line in math is a straight line that goes forever on each side.
