Question

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.What is the distance and midpoint between points D and E on the number line?

Answer 1

SOLUTION:

The points D and E are located at;

D is located -1.8

E is located at 2.4

Therefore, the distance from D to E is;

$\begin{gathered} x_2-x_1=2.4-(-1.8)=2.4+1.8 \\ =4.2 \end{gathered}$

The midpoint is given by;

$\begin{gathered} \frac{x_2+x_1}{2} \\ =\frac{2.4+(-1.8)}{2} \\ =0.3 \end{gathered}$
