On a number line, find the midpoint of a segment with the following endpoints: A = -10 and B = 20
The Mid point lies at 15 as the interval is (-10 to 0)= 10 Points and (0 to 20)= 20 Points
so would i use 10
1) 5.5 2) 12 3) 5 4) 10
Can you elaborate the question..so that its easy for me to answer it
Like , what answer choice would it be , because you said it =20 points . and thats not one of the choices
Is 10 as close to 20 as it is to -10?
no
The midpoint formula is (x1 + x2)/2
Or you could have used the 15 answer derived by lakshmandornala and add that to the smaller number (or subtract it from the bigger number).
@ djvu she didn't ask for mid point on particular axis, its on number line na?
Has to be on a number line.
so would it be 10 ??
Is (-10 + 20)/2 = 10 ?
yes
No!
What is -10 + 20 ?
Then it can (-10+20)/2 =5
5 is correct.
@soprettyjess are you agreed with answer?
