The x-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the x-coordinates of the two given points. Similar for the y-coordinate.
(5/2,11/2)
Points:(4, 3) and (10, -5) Midpoint: (4+10)/2, (3-5)/2 = (7, -1)
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
Just calculate the midpoint (which is the same as the average) of both the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates.
