1.6 Midpoint in the Coordinate Plane
Sometimes you need to find the point that is exactly between two other points. This middle
point is called the ___________________.
If you are given two numbers, you can find the number exactly halfway between them by
__________ them (adding them together & dividing by two). For example, the number exactly
5 10 15
halfway between 5 and 10 is = = 7.5.
2 2
The Midpoint Formula works exactly the same way. If you need to find the point that is
exactly halfway between two given points, just ___________________ the
___________________ and the _________________.
Midpoint Formula
YOU TRY:
S is the midpoint of RT . R has coordinates (-6, -1) and S has coordinates (-1, 1). Find the
coordinates of T.
