Show hintHide hint
Add the x-coordinates and then the y-coordinates, then divide by 2.
Question 2.
What is the midpoint of P(1,2) and Q(3,4)?
Show hintHide hint
Use the midpoint formula with the given coordinates.
3Question 3.
What is the formula for finding the midpoint?
- M = (x₁+x₂, y₁+y₂)
- M = ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2)
- M = (x₁-x₂, y₁-y₂)

- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about what splitting a segment means.
Question 5.
Find the midpoint of the segment with endpoints A(1, -3) and B(-3, 5). Can you interpret the result?
