    EXTENDING UNDERSTANDING OF THE MIDPOINT

    Practise finding the midpoint of an interval. Then use this skill to solve problems.

    TASK 1 Find the midpoint from the graph

    Determine the coordinates of the midpoints of the intervals drawn on the graph.

    1 Midpoint of AB = (−2, _____)

    2 Midpoint of CD = ( _____ , _____ )

    3 Midpoint of EF =

    4 Midpoint of GH =

    5 Midpoint of JK =

    TASK 2 Calculate the midpoint from the coordinates

    The pairs of coordinates are the end points of intervals.


    Calculate the midpoint of each interval using:

    Midpoint = (average of two x-values, average of two y-values)

    1 (2, 3), (6, 7) 2 (−2, −1), (8, 3) 3 (5, 1), (−1, 7)

    2+6 3+7 −2 + −1 + Midpoint =


    Midpoint = ( , ) Midpoint = ( , )
    2 2 2 2

    8 10
    =( , ) =( , )
    2 2 2 2

    = ( 4, ____ ) = ( ___ , ___ )

    4 (−5, 1), (6, 1) 5 (−3, 8), (−2, –8) 6 (28, 1), (0, 43.5)

    Midpoint = Midpoint = Midpoint =


    TASK 3 Determine the endpoint of an interval

    Imagine M is the midpoint of an interval PQ.


    P and M are shown on the diagram, but the other
    end point, Q, is missing.
    Determine the coordinates of Q using either the
    diagram or the formula. Describe your method.

    TASK 4 Use midpoints to investigate a relationship

    AB and CD are parallel lines.


    P and S are points on AB.
    R and Q are points on CD.

    1 Read off the midpoints of the two.


    intervals.

    Midpoint of PQ =

    Midpoint of RS =

    2 Mark the two midpoints on the graph and carefully draw the line through them. What do you notice
    about your new line and the two lines AB and CD?

    3 Draw in other intervals between the parallel lines. What do you notice about the midpoints of these
    intervals?
