Finding the midpoint between two coordinate points ex 2

The video tutorial explains how to find the midpoint of two coordinate points using the midpoint formula. It begins with an introduction to the concept and the formula, followed by a detailed explanation of how to apply it. The tutorial includes a step-by-step example of labeling coordinates, plugging them into the formula, and performing calculations. The importance of using parentheses to avoid mistakes is emphasized. The video concludes with the final calculation of the midpoint and a summary of the process.

What is the first step in finding the midpoint between two points?

• Divide the X coordinates by the Y coordinates

• Multiply the X and Y coordinates

• Add the X coordinates and divide by two

• Subtract the Y coordinates and divide by two

Why is it important to label the coordinates as X1, X2, Y1, and Y2?

• To avoid using a calculator

• To ensure the correct order of operations

• To make the formula look complex

• To confuse the students

What is the purpose of using parentheses in the calculation?

• To avoid using a calculator

• To ensure correct order of operations

• To make the equation longer

• To make the numbers look bigger

What is the result of adding -7.5 and -11.07?

• -18.57

• -19.57

• -20.57

• -17.57

What is the final midpoint calculated in the example?

• (-9.20, -5.00)

• (-9.20, -5.05)

• (-9.25, -5.00)

• (-9.25, -5.05)
