Which one of the points A(5.2). B(6,-3) and C(4.7) is the mid-point of the other two? Check your answer by calculating two dista

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

A is the midpoint

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A(5.2) B(6,-3) and C(4.7)

Required

Which is the midpoint

Midpoint is calculated using:

$(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}(x_1+x_2,y_1+y_2)$

Testing A as the midpoint, we have:

$(5,2) = \frac{1}{2}(6+4,-3+7)$

$(5,2) = \frac{1}{2}(10,4)$

$(5,2) = (\frac{1}{2}*10,\frac{1}{2}*4)$

$(5,2) = (5,2)$

<em>The above equation is true. Hence, A is the midpoint of B and C</em>

2 3/8 - 4 1/2 + 3 1/8 - (1/2)

UkoKoshka [18]

let's convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions firstly.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{3}{8}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 8+3}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{19}{8}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{2}} \\\\\\ \stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{1}{8}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 8+1}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{25}{8}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf \cfrac{19}{8}-\cfrac{9}{2}+\cfrac{25}{8}-\cfrac{1}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using an LCD of 8}}{\cfrac{(1)19-(4)9+(1)25-(4)1}{8}}\implies \cfrac{19-36+25-4}{8} \\\\\\ \cfrac{4}{8}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}$
