Answer:

A rational number is a number able to be put into a fraction, an irrational number is not able to be. Therefore, when adding the two, the rational and the irrational will be irrational. For example, 2 is a rational number, and 1.8903 is irrational. If you add the two, you will get 3.18903, which is unable to be put into a fraction.

Find the coordinates for the midpoint of the segment with endpoints given. (12, 4) and (-8, 8) (2, 6) (10, 6) (2, 2)
cluponka [151]
The given coordinates are:
p1: (12,4) and p2: (-8,8)

Th x coordinate of the midpoint is calculated as follows:
Xmidpoint = (x1+x2) / 2 = (12+-8) / 2 = 4/2 = 2

The y coordinate of the midpoint is calculated as follows:
Ymidpoint = (y1+y2) / 2 = (4+8) / 2 = 12/2 = 6

Based on the above calculations, the midpoint of the segment with the given coordinates is (2,6)
