This math problem is driving me insane!?

Question

Given: A= (x1, y1), B=(x2, y2)

M is the midpoint of Line AB.

P is the midpoint of Line BC.

Q is the midpoint of Line AC.

Prove:

A) P=( x2, y1+y2)

2

B) Q= (x1+x2, y1)

2

C) Points M and P have the same y-coordinate.

D) Points M and Q have the same x-coordinate.

E. M= (x1+x2, y1+y2)

Thanks a bunch = )

Answer 1

Letters don't belong in math you must have gotten some english homework mixed in there.

Answer 2

Just use the mid-point formula. You'll get it right away. Let your brain think for a while. Don't panic!! Good Luck. I think it is one of the easiest problems of mathematics. You'll feel the same.

Just use the mid point formula for all the equations and you'll find the answer. Same y-co-ordinate means same y-value and so for the x-co-ordinate x-value. MID POINT FORMULA! That's it!

Answer 3

Remember the midpoint formula.  So if M is the midpoint of A and B, then M is

( (x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2 )

You didn't say where C is, and both P and Q are defined as midpoints between this and another point.  So it's impossible to prove the rest.
