Midpoint Formula - GRE Quantitative Reasoning

Recall that to find the midpoint of two points and , you use the equation:

.

(It is just like finding the average of the two points, really.)

So, for our equation, we know the following:

You merely need to solve each coordinate for its respective value.

Then, for the y-coordinate:

Therefore, our other point is:

Recall that the midpoint formula is like finding the average of the and values for two points. For two points and , it is:

For our points, we are looking for . We know:

We can solve for each of these coordinates separately:

X-Coordinate

Y-Coordinate:

Therefore, our point is

What is the other endpoint of a line segment with one point that is and a midpoint of ?

The midpoint between two given points is found by solving for the average of each of the correlative coordinates of the given points. That is:

Midpoint = ( (2 + 14)/2 , (18 + 5)/2) = (16/2, 23/2) = (8, 11.5)

To find the midpoint, we add up the corresponding coordinates and divide by 2.

\[1 + –3\] / 2 = –1

\[3 + 1\] / 2 = 2

\[7 + 3\] / 2 = 5

Then the midpoint is (–1,2,5).

This is the definition of a bisector.

A midpoint is the point on a line that divides it into two equal parts. The bisector cuts the line at the midpoint, but the midpoint is not a line.

A transversal is a line that cuts across two or more lines that are usually parallel.

Parallel line and horizontal line don't make sense as answer choices here. The answer is bisector.
