Teacher to explain about the Teacher
MIDPOINT mid-point and its formula Learners to listen attentively exposition
 The midpoint of a segment is the
point halfway bwtween endpoint
 You can use the coordinate of the end
point to find the midpoint of a
segments
 Given a segment with endpoint
A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2), the midpoint
therefore ,
