Read each question carefully and use the midpoint formula to find the coordinates of the midpoint for each line segment. Show all your work.
1. Find the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (3, 7) and (9, 1).
2. Calculate the midpoint of the line segment connecting (-4, 5) and (2, -3).
3. The midpoint formula is given by M = ( , ).
4. If a line segment has endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the x-coordinate of the midpoint is the of x1 and x2.
5. Which of the following is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (0, -2) and (6, 4)?
(3, 1)
(6, 2)
(3, 3)
(0, 1)
6. The midpoint formula can only be used for line segments in the first quadrant.
True
False
7. If the midpoint of a line segment is (5, 8) and one endpoint is (3, 6), then the other endpoint is (7, 10).
True
False
8. Plot the line segment with endpoints A(-5, -4) and B(3, 2) on the coordinate plane below. Then, calculate and plot its midpoint.
