Question

Point A is located at -0.75 and point B is located at 1/4

on a number line.

Point C is the same distance from point B as point A, but it is not the same point. What is the coordinate of point C? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

-0.25

Explanation:

need to find the halfway point (average) between -0.75 and 0.25 (same as 1/4)

To get average, add them together: (-0.75) + (0.25) = -0.5, divide by two since there are two numbers, to get average -0.25
