Question

How would i find the midpoint of AB? Here is a photo of the line @Compassionate

Answer 1

hmmm, how many units you'd think FROM A to B?

Answer 2

8?

Answer 3

yes, 8, the midpoint is well, half of 8 :|

Answer 4

4

Answer 5

that's half way, so yes :)

Answer 6

so the midpoint is 4?

Answer 7

or 8?

Answer 8

mid = middle = half-way

Answer 9

oh my bad lol sorry

Answer 10

so half of 8 units is 4, the point at 4 is the middle point

Answer 11

k k thx

Answer 12

okay then what does coordinate mean?

Answer 13

cause the next question number 17 is asking that and i dont understand

Answer 14

well, Q = 4, B = 8
what's the half-way between 4 and 8?

Answer 15

like between the numbers?

Answer 16

yes, the coordinate will be the ordinal number at that point

Answer 17

okay so like 5,6,7??

Answer 18

yes

Answer 19

oh alrght thx

Answer 20

so

Q B
4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8

Answer 21

ohh okayy

Answer 22

okay now number 19 is asking What is the coordinate of the midpoint of the segment formed by the two points you found in Exercise 17 and 18?

Answer 23

ok, now we know that the midpoint of AB is Q = 4
and the midpoint of QB is ordinal number 6

19 is asking, what's the midpoint between those 2 found midpoints, that is 4 and 6

4 - 5 - 6

what do you think is the midpoint?

Answer 24

5

Answer 25

:)

Answer 26

so that's the answer?

Answer 27

yes
between 4 and 6 there are 2 units
2/2 = 1
so half-way is 1 unit away from 4
4+1 = 5

but you can see it right off anyway 4 - 5 - 6

Answer 28

yes alright thx again so much :)
