Question 1.
Find the midpoint of points P1(1, 1) and P2(3, 3).
Show hintHide hint
Remember to add the x-coordinates and y-coordinates separately and then divide by 2.
Question 2.
What is the midpoint of points P1(5, 5) and P2(7, 7)?
Show hintHide hint
Use the same method as before, averaging the coordinates.
3Question 3.
What is the formula for calculating the midpoint of two points?
- M = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2)
- M = ((x1 - x2)/2, (y1 - y2)/2)
- M = ((x1 + x2), (y1 + y2))
Show hintHide hint
Think about how we find the average of two numbers.
4Question 4.
The midpoint of points (-4, 2) and (4, -2) is?
Show hintHide hint
Average both x-coordinates and y-coordinates.
Question 5.
Given points P1(5, 10) and P2(5, -10), what is the midpoint? Discuss the significance of your result.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on y-coordinates!
Question 6.
If points P1(-3, -2) and P2(1, 2) are given, find the midpoint and interpret what this means in relation to the quadrant it occupies.
