What is midpoint?
The midpoint between two co-ordinate points is the point between them.
To find the midpoint M between S and T, we use the formula below.
Formula:
- M = [(x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2].......... Equation 1
From the question,
Given:
- x₁ = 6
- x₂ = 7
- y₁ = -3
- y₂ = -2
Substitute these values into equation 1
- M = [(6+7)/2, (-3-2)/2]
- M = (13/2, -5/2)
To calculate the distance between S and T, we use the formula below.
Formula:
- d = √[(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²]............ Equation 2
Substituting into equation 2
- d = √[(7-6)²+(-2-(-3)]
- d = √(1+1)
- d = √2
