Episode 5 — Analytical Geometry

Midpoint of a Straight Line

Learners will be able to:

• Identify the midpoint formula for calculating the coordinates of a point on a straight line. • Apply the midpoint formula to find the x-coordinate of a point given its coordinates and the coordinates of the midpoint. • Solve equations resulting from applying the midpoint formula to find the y-coordinate of a point. • Calculate the coordinates of a point using the midpoint formula when given the coordinates of another point and the midpoint. • Determine the coordinates of a point on a straight line by equating the midpoint formula with the given coordinates.
