Midpoint and Distance Formulas

Find the midpoint of the points (-3,3) & (5,3).

To find the midpoint,

1. Plug in (-3) for X₁ and plug in (3) for Y₁.

2. Plug in (5) for X₂ and plug in (3) for Y₂.

3. Simplify your answer to find the coordinate that lies between the two points.

Find the midpoint of the points (-4,5) & (2,-3).

1. Plug in (-4) for X₁ and (5) for Y₁.

2. Plug in (2) for X₂ and (-3) for Y_2.

3. Simplify your answer to find the middle coordinate.
