You can put this solution on YOUR website! what is the midpoint of segment PQ if P is at (3,6) and Q is at (5,10)?
-----------------
The easiest way:
Find the averages of x and y.
x = (3+5)/2 = 4
y = (6+10)/2 = 8
The midpoint is (4,8)
You can put this solution on YOUR website! formula for midpoint of line segment is ,
based on that the midpoint looks like (4,8).
because.................. = 4 (x coordinate)
and = 8 (y coordinate)
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Well.. The midpoint formula is
Please note: As I put I mean "x" one and "x" two. NOT "x" times one and "x" squared.
So you would plug in both x's as which would give you 2 as your X coordinate.
Giving you the formula;
Then plug both "Y"'s in as leaving 8 as your Y coordinate.
Answer: (2,8)
Good luck with the rest of your workk. :)
