Finding Midpoints with the Midpoint Formula

This video tutorial explains how to find the midpoint between two points. It covers the formula for calculating the midpoint by averaging the x and y coordinates separately. The tutorial includes examples with both positive and negative coordinates, as well as examples involving fractions. Viewers are encouraged to practice with provided problems to reinforce their understanding.

What is the formula to find the x-coordinate of the midpoint between two points?

• (x1 + x2) / 2

• (x1 - x2) / 2

• (x1 * x2) / 2

• (x1 / x2) / 2
