Question

the coordinates of points A and L are -4 and 12 respectively. What is the coordinate of the midpoint between them?

Answer 1

reeeee

Answer 2

I assume the points are on the same line thou-

Oh

Answer 3

Add both numbers then divide by 2

Answer 4

so A

Answer 5

Yup

Answer 6

Midpoint formula:\[\frac{(12-(-4))}{2}\]

Answer 7

No...

Answer 8

Yes

Answer 9

12+(-4)/2

Answer 10

The distance between 12 and -4 is 12-(-4)

Answer 11

@dude back me up pls

Answer 12

I just finished that unit! 🤣

Answer 13

That doesn't make sense though

Distance from -4 to 0 is 4 units
Distance from 0 to 12 is 12 units
4+12 equals 16

Answer 14

So if you wanted the midpoint you would divide it in half\[16\div2=8\]
The midpoint has to be 8 units away from both -4 and 12

Answer 15

Oh wait.....

Answer 16

the answer is still 4 because -4 + 8 and 12 - 8 both = 4 correct?

Answer 17

Yup

Answer 18

So I was right

Answer 19

Not the formula lol

Answer 20

It's absolute value of subtraction usually

Answer 21

either way is the answer the same?

Answer 22

The answer is correct but the method was in error

It's ok though. I just want to make sure you got the concept
