Read each question carefully and show all your work. Use the coordinate plane provided for plotting points where necessary.
1. State the midpoint formula for a line segment with endpoints (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂).
2. Find the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (3, 5) and (7, 9).
3. Plot the points A(-4, 2) and B(6, -4) on the coordinate plane below. Then, find the midpoint of segment AB and plot it.
Midpoint of AB:
4. If the midpoint of a line segment is (2, 3) and one endpoint is (5, 1), the other endpoint is ( , ).
5. Which of the following is the midpoint of the segment connecting (0, 0) and (10, 8)?
(5, 4)
(10, 8)
(0, 0)
(2, 2)
6. A line segment has endpoints (x, -2) and (4, y). If its midpoint is (3, 5), find the values of x and y.
