PLEASE ANSWER QUICK FOR 75 POINTS. Explain how using the midpoint formula to find the midpoint of a line segment is similar to finding the average of a set of numbers.

If you want to find the midpoint of A and B, then the formula you use is (A+B)/2. We add up the numbers and then divide by 2.

For instance, A = 1 and B = 5 leads to a midpoint of 3 since (A+B)/2 = (1+5)/2 = 6/2 = 3.

Visually we have found the average of the endpoints, which is at the center. So this shows that the midpoint is basically the average when you have 2 data values. We can extend this out to having more than 2 items to find the average. It might help to think of a dot plot and try to determine where the center of that data distribution is. The arithmetic mean is one way, but the median is also another tool.
