Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Find the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints at (2, 3) and (8, 7).
[2 marks]
2.
Calculate the midpoint of the segment connecting points (-4, 10) and (6, -2).
[2 marks]
3.
Construct the line segment with endpoints at (1, -3) and (7, 5). What are the coordinates of its midpoint? Show your working.
[3 marks]
4.
If a line segment has endpoints at (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), and its midpoint is (3, 4), find the possible values of (x1, y1) when (x2, y2) are (-1, 8).
[3 marks]
5.
A student claims that the midpoint of points (2, 3) and (6, 7) is (4, 5). Is this correct? Explain your reasoning.
[3 marks]
6.
A line segment has endpoints at (x, 2) and (4, y). If its midpoint is at (3, 4), find x and y.
[3 marks]
7.
Plot the points (1, 2) and (5, 6) on the grid. Draw the line segment and mark its midpoint.
[2 marks]
8.
Construct a triangle with vertices at (0, 0), (4, 0), and (2, 4). Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment connecting (0, 0) and (4, 0).
[2 marks]
9.
In a real-world context, a bridge spans between two points at (2, 1) and (10, 9). Find the midpoint of the bridge's span in coordinate form.
[3 marks]
10.
Identify and correct the mistake in the student's calculation: Midpoint of (3, 5) and (7, 9) is (5, 7).
[2 marks]
11.
Challenge: The endpoints of a segment are at (x, y) and (10, 14). The midpoint is at (6, 9). Find the coordinates of (x, y).
