Distance and Midpoint Formula

Front

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

Back

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

How do you find the y-coordinate of the midpoint between (3, 9) and (3, 3)?

Back

The y-coordinate of the midpoint is (9 + 3)/2 = 6.

How do you find the x-coordinate of the midpoint between (4, 2) and (6, 4)?

Back

The x-coordinate of the midpoint is (4 + 6)/2 = 5.

Front

What is the significance of the distance formula in geometry?

Back

It calculates the straight-line distance between two points in a coordinate plane.

Front

If the coordinates of point A are (2, 3) and point B are (5, 7), what is the distance between them?

Front

What is the midpoint of the line segment connecting (1, 1) and (3, 3)?

Back

The midpoint is ((1 + 3)/2, (1 + 3)/2) = (2, 2).
