Explanation:

Coordinates are always written as (x, y) — go along the corridor (x-axis, horizontal) first, then up or down the stairs (y-axis, vertical). In all four quadrants, left of the origin (0, 0) gives a negative x-coordinate and below the origin gives a negative y-coordinate.

To find the midpoint of a line segment joining (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), average the x-coordinates and average the y-coordinates: Midpoint = (x₁ + x₂2, y₁ + y₂2).

Example 1: A(−3, 2), B(3, 2) and C(3, −2) are three corners of rectangle ABCD. Find the coordinates of D.

D lines up vertically with A (x = −3) and horizontally with C (y = −2). Answer: (−3, −2)

Example 2: Find the coordinates of the midpoint M of the line joining P(−4, 7) and Q(6, −1).

Solution:

Average the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates:

• x_M = −4 + 62 = 22 = 1

• y_M = 7 + (−1)2 = 62 = 3

Answer: (1, 3)
