To solve for the midpoint, I thought that you would measure the line and divide by two as a solution. Our question for homework was, “How do we know that the proposed midpoint formula will guarantee a point in the exact middle?” The midpoint formula provides us the average of the x and y variables. When I thought about the average, I know that it could represent the mean, median and mode. When I thought of adding two numbers together and dividing them by two, I thought about the mean and median. Both of these methods are used to find the “middle” of a set of numbers. The mean adds up all of the numbers and divides them by the total amount of numbers. For the median, you find the middle of the set of numbers. Although if there are two middle numbers, you add them a divide them by two. This is the way I thought about the midpoint
