Answer:

1 $\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Note there is a common ratio between consecutive terms, that is

10 ÷ 20 = 5 ÷ 10 = 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ ÷ 5 = $\frac{1}{2}$

Thus to obtain the next term in the sequence multiply the previous term by $\frac{1}{2}$

2 $\frac{1}{2}$ × $\frac{1}{2}$ = 1 $\frac{1}{4}$

What is the midpoint of the segment shown below?

kolbaska11 [484]

The midpoint of the segment is (-15/2, -15/2)

<h3>How to determine the midpoint?</h3>

The complete question is in the attached image

The points are given as:

(-8, -7) and (-7, -8)

The midpoint is calculated as:

(x,y) = 1/2 * (x1 + x2, y1 + y2)

So, we have:

(x,y) = 1/2 * (-8 - 7, -7 - 8)

Evaluate the difference

(x,y) = 1/2 * (-15, -15)

Evaluate the product

(x,y) = (-15/2, -15/2)

Hence, the midpoint of the segment is (-15/2, -15/2)
