- I don't think you need the answer 11 years later, but I'll still answer 😁 If we are given 1 endpoint and the midpoint, then we use the reverse of...
- With only two data points, the mean, median and mode are all the same.
- Simply defined; A median is a number that is between two numbers which is exactly halfway, like for example; the median of 3 and 5 is 4 (There are...

- Take, for example, the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Average: Add all the numbers together and divide them by 5(because there are 5 numbers that we ad...
- Addition is commutative, so it doesn't matter here. Generally, these subscripts serve to group an x/y pair as a point and as long as you use the co...
- 7=1/2(6+x) => 2(7)=6+x => 14=6+x => 8=x -2=1/2(-6+y) => 2(-2)=-6+y => -4=-6+y => 2=y therefore the other point would be (8,2)
The midpoint is the point (x, y), where x is the value from Step (2) and y is the value from Step (4). In an intuitive sense, the Midpoint Formula takes the coordinates of the two given points, and finds the averages of the x - and y -values.
Walk through writing a general formula for the midpoint between two points. The midpoint of the points ( x 1 , y 1 ) and ( x 2 , y 2 ) is given by the following formula: ( x 1 + x 2 2 , y 1 + y 2 2 )
Midpoint refers to a point that is exactly in the middle of the line segment joining two points. The two reference points are the endpoints of a line segment, and the midpoint is lying in between the two points. The midpoint divides the line joining these two points into two equal halves.
Think of the midpoint as the “halfway point” of a line segment, and use the Midpoint Formula to calculate it. Two endpoints of the line segment are needed to find the midpoint using the formula.
The midpoint formula is a formula used to find the halfway point between two coordinates on a graph. Given a line segment with endpoints A and B, the midpoint is the point located exactly between A and B, meaning that it is the same distance from A and B, as in the figure below.
