Sadie AdamsTo find the midpoint of a line segment joining two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), you can use the midpoint formula:
Midpoint = ((x₁ + x₂) / 2, (y₁ + y₂) / 2)
For the points (7, 4) and (-8, 7), the midpoint would be:
Midpoint = ((7 + (-8)) / 2, (4 + 7) / 2)
Midpoint = ((7 - 8) / 2, (4 + 7) / 2)
Midpoint = (-1 / 2, 11 / 2)
So, the midpoint of the line segment joining the points (7, 4) and (-8, 7) is (-1/2, 11/2).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- A line passes through #(6 ,4 )# and #(9 ,0 )#. A second line passes through #(3 ,4 )#. What is one other point that the second line may pass through if it is parallel to the first line?
- A triangle has corners at #(1 ,5 )#, #(9 ,2 )#, and #(6 ,7 )#. How far is the triangle's centroid from the origin?
- An isosceles triangle has sides A, B, and C with sides B and C being equal in length. If side A goes from #(1 ,4 )# to #(5 ,8 )# and the triangle's area is #27 #, what are the possible coordinates of the triangle's third corner?
- A line passes through #(5 ,6 )# and #(2 ,8 )#. A second line passes through #(7 ,1 )#. What is one other point that the second line may pass through if it is parallel to the first line?
- A triangle has corners at #(5 ,9 )#, #(4 ,1 )#, and #(3 ,8 )#. How far is the triangle's centroid from the origin?
