On a number line, suppose the coordinate of Ais 0, and AR = 15. What are the possible coordinates of the midpoint of AR?

Answer 1

Given :

On a number line, suppose the coordinate of A is 0, and AR = 15.

To Find :

the possible coordinates of the midpoint of AR.

Solution :

Their can be two points R which is at a distance of 15 units from the A .

One is -15 and other is 15.

Now, mid-point of A(0) and R(-15) is M (-7/2).

Also, mid-point of A(0) and R(15) is M (7/2).

Therefore, possible coordinates of the midpoint of AR is 7/2 , -7/2.

Hence, this is the required solution.
