Answer 2

However far you go to get from the endpoint's x = 25 to get to the midpoints x=18, you go that far again to get to the other endpoint

Answer 3

So, if this were to be on a coordinate plane, how would I map this out?

Answer 4

Did you get the x value of the other end point ?

Answer 5

No. :(

Answer 6

you don't need to plot anything. You just have to know when you move from the endpoint to the midpoint you have to move so many steps in the x direction

how many steps does it take to get from 25 to 18

Answer 7

7 steps?

Answer 8

yes. (but you are getting smaller, so -7 might make more sense)

now you are at the midpoint's x. the other endpoint is 7 more steps
what is the x value of the other endpoint ?

Answer 9

wait. I'm confused. :P

Answer 10

how many steps does it take to get from 25 to 18
7

now go another 7 steps in the same direction to get to the other endpoint

Answer 11

14.

Answer 12

Thank you. :)

Answer 13

14 steps from 25 is the other endpoint

Answer 14

:?

Answer 15

I was too quick. 14 is not the x value you want

25..... 18 ...... ?
what is ?
it is 7 less than 18 (or 14 less than 25)

Answer 16

you may apply mid-point formula


\[(x,y) is \mid point.x=\frac{ x1+x2 }{ 2 },y=\frac{ y1+y2 }{2}\]

Answer 17

okay.
So there is a formula required to this?

Answer 18

yes

Answer 19

if you are at the midpoint and go 7 steps up you get to 25
if you are at the midpoint and go 7 steps down you get to the other endpoint

Answer 20

18?

Answer 21

18 is the midpoint

Answer 22

Thank you so much! :)

Answer 23

18 is not the answer.

Answer 24

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 25

WHY DID I DO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 26

I SUBMITTED THE EXAM WITHOUT BEING CORRECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
