Answer:

a. B

b. 4

c. BD

Explanation:

a. Point A is at -7; point D is at +1. The distance between these points is ...

1 -(-7) = 8

The midpoint will be 8/2 = 4 units from either end so will be at ...

A +4 = -7 +4 = -3

or

D -4 = 1 -4 = -3

The point located at -3 is point B, the midpoint of AD.

__

b. Having done the above calculations, we know that segment AB is 4 units long.

__

c. We also know that segment BD is 4 units long. That is because the midpoint divides a segment into two equal parts.
