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

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} (x_2+x_1)/(2) \\ =(2.4+(-1.8))/(2) \\ =0.3 \end{gathered}`
