Read each question carefully and follow the instructions to find the midpoint of the given line segments.
1. Plot the points A(1, 2) and B(7, 6) on the coordinate plane below. Then, find the midpoint of the line segment AB by counting units.
Midpoint (x, y):
2. The midpoint formula is M = ( (x1 + x2) / 2 , ).
3. To find the x-coordinate of the midpoint, you the x-coordinates of the two endpoints and then by 2.
4. Find the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (3, 5) and (9, 1). Show your work.
5. A line segment has endpoints P(-2, 8) and Q(4, -4). What are the coordinates of its midpoint?
6. Which of the following is the midpoint of the line segment connecting (0, 0) and (6, 10)?
(3, 5)
(6, 10)
(0, 10)
(9, 11)
