Distance and Midpoint Application

Find the x-coordinate of the midpoint of the segment with the endpoints x₁ = -4 and x₂ = 0.

• M = -1

• M = 0

• M = -3

• M = -2

A midpoint of a segment is a point that divides the segment into two __________________________ segments.

• Equidistant

• Congruent

• Regular

• Equilateral

The Midpoint Formula is:

• The average of the x and y coordinates

• The distance between the two coordinate points

• The distance on the x and y axis

• The average of many points

Find the coordinate of the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints J(-6, -12) and K(-18, 22).

• M (5, -12)

• M (-12, 5)

• M (-6, 17)

• M (17, -6)

Find the other endpoint of the line segment with the given endpoint (2, 8) and midpoint (-3, 4).

• (-0.5, 6)

• (6, -0.5)

• (0, -8)

• (-8, 0)

The distance formula comes from the following equation:

• Midpoint Formula

• Circumference

• Slope Equation

• Pythagorean Theorem

The distance between two points is always positive:

• True

• False

• 7

• 9.22

Find the distance between the pair of points R(-4, 1) and F(0, -2).

• 5
