Edexcel IGCSE Math A syllabusMath A 4MA1First assessment 2018

Practise midpoint questions by averaging the x-values and y-values or using grid symmetry to locate the exact halfway point.

How this is tested

  • Calculate a midpoint by averaging the two x-coordinates and the two y-coordinates.
  • Mark a midpoint on a grid and label it when a line segment or rectangle is shown.

Question 1

The point P has coordinates (3,4)
The point Q has coordinates (9,16)
M is the midpoint of the line PQ
Find the coordinates of M
