5.1 Distance and Midpoint

Front

What is the formula to find the midpoint between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The midpoint M is given by M = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2).

Front

What is the significance of the midpoint in geometry?

Back

The midpoint divides a line segment into two equal parts.

Front

If the midpoint of a segment is (2, 2.5) and one endpoint is (4, 5), what is the other endpoint?

Back

The other endpoint is (0, 0).

What is the midpoint of the segment with endpoints (-7, -8) and (4, 7)?

Back

The midpoint is (-1.5, -0.5).

Front

Define the term 'distance' in the context of coordinate geometry.

Back

Distance refers to the length of the shortest path between two points in a plane.
