1 Midpoint Objective: Students will be able to apply the midpoint formula to find endpoints and midpoints of segments.

2 Calculate the Midpoint What is equation to calculate the midpoint when given coordinates of the endpoint of a segment? Average of the endpoints

3 Example Find midpoint of (-8,5) and (3,-6)

4 Could you find an endpoint If you are given the midpoint and one endpoint could you find the other endpoint. Sub in what you know and work backwards

5 Con’t First part of the formula is how you get the x coordinate for the midpoint Second part of the formula is how you get the y coordinate of the midpoint Sub in what you know to each of the formulas and work backwards to solve for the other endpoint

6 Example One endpoint is (2,5) and the midpoint is (-1,3), find the other endpoint.

7 Endpoint Using Slope 1.Find slope between endpoint and midpoint 2.Test 1.Add rise to the y value of midpoint, is it the same y as the end point 2.If no then add run to x value of midpoint, you now have ordered pair for endpoint 3.If yes then subtract rise from y of midpoint and subtract run from x of midpoint and write as an ordered pair

8 Objective: Students will be able to apply the midpoint formula to find endpoints and midpoints of segments. On a scale of 1 to 4 Do you fee we meet the objective for the day. If we did not meet the objective, what did we miss and how could I improve.
