Example Question #1 : How To Find The Midpoint Of A Line Segment
What would be the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints at
and
?
Possible Answers:
Correct answer:
Explanation:
The midpoint of a line segment is halfway between the two
values and halfway between the two
values.
Mathematically, that would be the average of each coordinate: 
.
Plug in the
values from the given points and solve.
We can simplify the fraction to give our final answer.

Example Question #3 : How To Find The Midpoint Of A Line Segment
If a line has a midpoint at
, and the endpoints are
and
, what is the value of
?
Possible Answers:
Correct answer:
Explanation:
The midpoint of a line segment is halfway between the two
values and halfway between the two
values.
Mathematically, that would be the average of the coordinates: 
.
Plug in the
values from the given points.
Now we can solve for the missing value.
The
values reduce, so both
values equal 
. Now we need to create a new equation to solve for the
value.
Multiply both sides by
to solve.

Example Question #1 : Coordinate Geometry
What is the midpoint of the line segment which connects
and 
?
Possible Answers:
Correct answer:
Explanation:
To find the midpoint of a line segment, we find the average of the x and y coordinates of the endpoints. The average of two numbers is the sum of those numbers divided by 
. Thus, to find the x-coordinate of our midpoint, we find the average of
and 
, and we get 
.
To find the y-coordinate of our midpoint, we find the average of
and 
, which is 
.
Thus, our midpoint is
