The coordinates (abscissa and ordinates) of the midpoint of the line segment is the average of the abscissas and the ordinates, respectively. Therefore, the x - coordinate of the midpoint is equal to -20 + 20 or 0 by 2 which is zero. The answer is letter E.

Answer:

Option B is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the line segment joining points A\left ( x_1,y_1 \right )\,,\,B\left ( x_2,y_2 \right ) . It's midpoint is given by \left ( \frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} \right ) .

Midpoint is basically the centre point of a line segment .

Here, given points are \left ( -20,0 \right )\,,\,\left ( 20,0 \right ) .

Consider the following:

\left ( x_1,y_1 \right )=\left ( -20,0 \right )\\\left ( x_2,y_2 \right )=\left ( 20,0 \right )

To find: x-coordinate of the midpoint of a horizontal segment with the endpoints (-20,0) , (20,0) .

Solution:

x-coordinate = \frac{x_1+x_2}{2}

On putting x_1=-20\,,\,x_2=20 , we get

x - coordinate = \frac{-20+20}{2}=0

So, here we calculate the average of x-coordinates .

Option B is correct .

Convert 27/20 to a decimal
Tatiana [17]
27/20

= 20/20 + 7/20

= 1 + 7/20

= 1.00 + 0.35

= 1.35

------

List of values to remember (extras):

0.05 = 1/20 = 5%
0.10 = 1/10 = 10%
0.15 = 3/20 = 15%
0.20 = 1/5 = 20%
0.25 = 1/4 = 25%
0.30 = 3/10 = 30%
0.35 = 7/20 = 35%
0.40 = 2/5 = 40%
0.45 = 9/20 = 45%
0.50 = 1/2 = 50%
0.55 = 11/20 = 55%
0.60 = 3/5 = 60%
0.65 = 13/20 = 65%
0.70 = 7/10 = 70%
0.75 = 3/4 = 75%
0.80 = 4/5 = 80%
0.85 = 17/20 = 85%
0.90 = 9/10 = 90%
0.95 = 19/20 = 95%
1.00 = 1 = 100%
