Example Question #1 : How To Find The Midpoint Of A Line Segment
What is the midpoint of the points (3,12) and (9,15)?
To find the midpoint we must know the midpoint formula which is
We then take the -coordinate from the first point and plug it into the formula as .
We take the -coordinate from the second point and plug it into the formula as .
We then do the same for and .
With all of the points plugged in our equation will look like this.
We then perform the necessary addition and division to get the answer of
Example Question #3 : How To Find The Midpoint Of A Line Segment
Find the midpoint of the line segment that connects the two points below.
Point 1:
Point 2:
The average of the the -coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates of the given points will give you the mid-point of the line that connects the points.
, where is and is .
Example Question #2 : Midpoint Formula
Find the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints and .
Use the midpoint formula:
Substitute:
The midpoint is
Example Question #614 : Equations Of Lines
Find the midpoint of the line segment with these endpoints: and .
The midpoint formula is
.
Add the two values together and divide the total by two to find the value of the midpoint. Add the two values together and divide the total by two to find the value of the midpoint.
Example Question #9 : Midpoint Formula
What is the midpoint of a line that connects the points and ?
The midpoint formula is .
Therefore, all we need to do is plug in the points given to us to find the midpoint.
In this case, .
To find the -value for the midpoint, we add: . Then we divide by : .
To find the -value for the midpoint, we add: . Then we divide by : .
So our solution is .
Example Question #10 : Midpoint Formula
Find the midpoint of a line with the endpoings (3, 4) and (-1, -1).
When finding the midpoint between two points, we use the midpoint formula
where and are the points given.
Knowing this, we can substitute the values into the formula. We get
Therefore, is the midpoint.

Example Question #1 : Trigonometry
A plane flies degrees north of east for miles. It then turns and flies degrees south of east for miles. Approximately how many miles is the plane from its starting point? (Ignore the curvature of the Earth.)
The plane flies two sides of a triangle. The angle formed between the two sides is 40 degrees. In a Side-Angle-Side situation, it is appropriate to employ the use of the Law of Cosines.
