So you know the find the midpoint formula for find the endpoint? So I learned that on some of them you put in the numbers x1 and y1 and some of them I need to put in x2 and y2 how iam I supposed to know whitch equations I need to do the x1 and y1 and whitch ones I need to do x2 and y2. This is the photo of the questions for an example the top one I had to use the x1 and y1 number and the bottom one I had to use the x2 and y2 numbers, how will I be able to tell?
#need help asap as I have a quiz tmrw.

What do u wanna know here?
I submitted it and it said those questions where right
what do you need help with?
do you not understand why or?
I know the formula just for some equations you need to use x1 and y1 and some I need to use x2 and y2, I don’t know how to know when to use x1 and y1 or x2 and y2
I sure you will get what I’m saying if you look at the photo with the questions
you have point a
and point b
so ur finding c
find the difference between a and b
ohhhhh
Its x2-x1, y2-y1
i think
do x2-x1 ,y2-y1. It works on both equations i think.
@naive turret
It came out with the wrong answer
Yeah
The midpoint formula is ((x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2)
Where (x1,y1),(x2,y2) are the endpoints of the line segments
Notice how the order of the points doesn’t matter
You can sub in the known end point as (x1,y1) or (x2,y2) and you would still get the same result
