What is the midpoint of a line segment whose endpoints are?
The midpoint is the average of the endpoints.
Example Question #11 :How To Find The Midpoint Of A Line Segment
What is the midpoint of a line segment connecting the pointsand?
Use the midpoint formula,, with our pointsand.
Example Question #13 :Midpoint And Distance Formulas
Find the midpoint between these two points:
and
To find the midpoint of a line segment, use the standard midpoint equation:
Plug in the given points and simplify:
Example Question #12 :Midpoint And Distance Formulas
Find the midpoint of the line segment connectingand.
To find the midpoint of a line segment, we find the average of the-values and the average of the-values. Thus, we have that:
Midpoint =
Example Question #1 :How To Find The Endpoints Of A Line Segment
What is the length of a line with endpointsand?
The formula for the length of a line is very similiar to the pythagorean theorem:
Plug in our given numbers to solve:
Example Question #2 :How To Find The Endpoints Of A Line Segment
The points A, B, and C reside on a line segment.Bis the midpoint ofAC.If line AB measures 6 units in length, what is the length of lineAC?
IfBis the midpoint ofAC,thenACis twice as long asAB.We are told thatAB=6.
The diagram shows six units between pointsAandB,withBas the midpoint of segmentAC. Therefore segmentBCis also six units long, so lineACis twelve units long.
Example Question #1 :How To Find The Length Of A Line With Distance Formula
What is the length of a line segment with end pointsand?
The formula for the length of line is the distance formula, which is very similar to the Pythagorean theorem.
Plug in the given values and solve for the length.
Example Question #2 :How To Find The Length Of A Line With Distance Formula
What would be the length of a line with endpoints atand?
The formula for the length of line is the distance formula, which is very similar to the Pythagorean theorem.
Plug in the given values and solve for the length.
Example Question #3 :How To Find The Length Of A Line With Distance Formula
What line goes through the pointsand?
Find the slope between the two points:
Next, use the slope-intercept form of the equation:
orwhere
So the equation becomesor in standard form.
