How would I find the midpoint of the lone segment having these endpoints (8,1) and (2,9)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Let the midpoint be (x,y)
\n" ); document.write( "x is the average of 8 and 2 = (8+2)/2 = 5
\n" ); document.write( "y is the average of 1 and 9 = (1+9)/2 = 5
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "midpoint is (5,5)
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Find the other endpoint of a line segment with given midpoint and one endpoint endpoint- (0,0) midpoint- (4, -3)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Let the other endpoint be (x,y)
\n" ); document.write( "(0+x)/2 = 4 so x = 8
\n" ); document.write( "(0+y)/2 = -3 so y = -6
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Other endpoint is (8,-6)
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "find the distance between the points (-3, -7) and (-4, 15)
\n" ); document.write( "d = sqrt(change in x)^2 + change in y)^2
\n" ); document.write( "d = sqrt(1^2 + 22^2)
\n" ); document.write( "d = sqrt(1 + 484)
\n" ); document.write( "d = 22.0227..
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
