Finding Midpoints of Points

The video tutorial explains how to find the midpoint between two points on a coordinate plane. It introduces the concept of midpoint as the average of the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of two points. The tutorial provides a step-by-step example using the points (3, 2) and (9, 4), demonstrating the calculation process to find the midpoint, which results in the point (6, 3). The lesson emphasizes the importance of adding x-coordinates and y-coordinates separately before dividing by two to find the midpoint.

What does the notation (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) represent in the context of finding a midpoint?

• Two different points

• Two different lines

• Two different circles

• Two different angles

How do you find the midpoint between two points?

• By multiplying the coordinates

• By subtracting the coordinates

• By dividing the coordinates

• By averaging the coordinates

What is the first step in calculating the midpoint of two points?

• Add the x-coordinates

• Subtract the y-coordinates

• Divide the y-coordinates

• Multiply the x-coordinates

In the example with points (3, 2) and (9, 4), what is the sum of the x-coordinates?

• 15

• 6

• 12

• 9

What is the result of dividing the sum of the y-coordinates by 2 in the example?

• 2

• 4

• 3

• 5

What is the final midpoint calculated in the example?

• (7, 4)

• (6, 3)

• (8, 5)

• (5, 3)
