Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the coordinate of the midpoint of segment QB, first, find the distance from Q to B.
QB = |4 - 8| = |-4| = 4
The coordinate of the midpoint of QB would be at ½ the distance of QB (½*4 = 2).
Therefore, coordinate of the midpoint of QB = the coordinate of Q + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6
OR
Coordinate of B - 2 = 8 - 2 = 6
Coordinate of the midpoint of QB = 6
Coordinate of W = -8
Coordinate of A = 0
distance from W to A (WA) = |-8 - 0| = |-8| = 8
The coordinate of the midpoint of WA would be at ½ the distance of WA = ½*8 = 4.
Therefore, coordinate of the midpoint of WA = the coordinate of W + 4 = -8 + 4 = -4
Or
Coordinate of A - 4 = 0 - 4 = -4
Coordinate of the midpoint of WA = -4
Now, let's find the midpoint between the two new coordinates we have found, which are -4 and 4
Distance of the segment formed by coordinate -4 and 4 = |-4 - 4| = |-8| = 8
Midpoint = ½*8 = 4
Coordinate of the midpoint = -4 + 4 = 0
Or
4 - 4 = 0
