Question

Find the x value for the point that splits segment AB in half if point A is located at (4, 3) and point B is located at (−2, 6).

Answer 1

midpoint = (x1+x2)/2 and (y1+y2)/2 = so just solving for
x gives (4+(-2))/2 = 1


not asked for but the y value is (3+6)/2 = 9/2 = 4.5 so the ordered pair is (1, 4.5)

Answer 2

x=1

Explanation:

the point that splits segment AB in half if point A is located at (4, 3) and point B is located at (−2, 6).

WE use mid point formula

`((x_1+x_2)/(2) , (y_2+y_2)/(2))`

Here (x1,y1) is (4,3) and (x2,y2) is (-2,6)

Plug in all the values in the formula

`((4-2)/(2) ,(3+6)/(2))`

`((2)/(2) , (9)/(2))`

(1, 4.5)

The x- value of midpoint is x=1
