If the coordinates of points A and L are –4 and 8, respectively, then the midpoint between them has a coordinate of.....
A- 0
B- 2
C- 4
D- 6
My choice is B.
B is correct.
Midpt = (-4 + 8)/2 = 2
Thank you!
To find the midpoint between two points, you need to find the average of their coordinates.
In this case, the coordinates of point A are -4 and the coordinates of point L are 8.
To find the x-coordinate of the midpoint, you would take the average of the x-coordinates of A and L:
(-4 + 8) / 2 = 4 / 2 = 2
So, the x-coordinate of the midpoint is 2.
Therefore, the correct choice is B, 2.
