Question

What is the coordinate of the midpoint of DA?
D

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

Coordinate of point D = -6

Coordinate of point A = 18

The coordinate of the midpoint of DA = the coordinate of the point that is half the distance from D to A.

Distance of DA = |18 -(-6)| = |18 + 6| = 24

Midpoint = ½ the distance of DA = ½*24 = 12

Coordinate of the midpoint of DA = coordinate of D + 12 = -6 + 12 = 6

Or,

Coordinate of A - 12 = 18 - 12 = 6

Therefore, coordinate of the midpoint of DA = 6.
