The answer is: "1" . ________________________________ Explanation: ________________________ To start, we find this coordinates of this "point that splits the segment in half", known as the "half-point"; or, even more formally, known as the "midpoint", using the following "midpoint formula"; in which "M" refers to the "midpoint": ____________________________________ Given two coordinates (points) on a (straight line segment): ______________________________ (x₁, y₁) ; AND: (x₂ ,y₂ ) ;
The midpoint , "M": ___________________________________ M = (x₁ + x₂) / 2 , (y₁ + y₂) / 2 ; ____________________________________
in which: " (x₁ + x₂) / 2 " ; refers to the "x-coordinate" of the midpoint;
AND: "(y₁ + y ₂) / 2 " ; refers to the "y-coordinate" of the midpoint; _______________________________________________________ If given two particular points, use can use point to start with, as long os the second one is used for the next one: ___________________________________________________ So, given: Point A: (4,3) ; 4 = x₁ ; 3 = y₁ ; Pont B: (-2,6) -2 = x₂ ; 6 = y₂ ; ___________________________________________________ The midpoint , "M": ___________________________________ M = (x₁ + x₂) / 2 , (y₁ + y₂) / 2 = ? Substitute the values: _______________________________________________ M = [4 +(-2)] / 2 , (3 + 6) / 2 ;
→ [(4 <span>− 2) / 2 ] , [(3+6) / 2 ] ;
</span>→ (2/2), (9/2) ;
→ (1, 4.5) __________________________________ The midpoint is: (1, 4.5). This very question asks to find the "x-value" of the midpoint, which is "1" . (Since: x =1, y = 4.5). ________________________________________ So, the answer is: "1" . __________________________________________________
A. No animal populations are increasing, they are decreasing. Our consumption harms the environment, not cleans it. We have a big effect on the environment.
"The length of the Congo and its longest headstream is about 3,000 miles (5,000 kilometers). Each second the Congo River pours 1,200,000 cubic feet (34,000 cubic meters) of water into the Atlantic Ocean."
