Question

What is the simplified form of the MIdpoint Formula if one of the endpoints of a segment is (0,0), and the other is (x,y)?

Answer 1

Hi,
The midpoint formula, as you probably know is this:
( (x1+x2)/2, (y1 +y2)/2)
So, if x1 and y1 are both zero, the formula becomes
( (0+x2)/2, (0 +y2)/2)

And that simplifies to this:
(x2/2, y2/2)
NOTE: All of the numbers immedinately after the variables are subscripts. For example, x2 should be x sub 2.
Hope this helps.

Answer 2

(X2+X1)/2, (Y2+Y1)/2

All it is is an average of the points.

in this case just substitute in your values. You get X+0/2, Y+0/2, which just gives you just X/2, Y/2

Answer 3

(x/2, y/2)
