A point that bisects a segment would be its midpoint. This is a case where the vocabulary (bisect as opposed to midpoint) makes it harder.
To find the midpoint, we use the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula is:
midpoint = (x₁ + x₂/2, y₁ + y/2). To find it, you add the x coordinates and then divide them by 2. Repeat for the y coordinates.
x: (-2 + 6)/2 = 4/2 = 2
y: (5 +1)/2 = 6/2 = 3
Thus the point B bisecting AC is at (2, 3).

Step-by-step explanation:
I think the graph below is correct.
2.5 Is the answer. It is rounded to the nearest tenth.
2.1 ÷ 1.488 = 1.41
1.41 rounded to the nearest tenth is 1.4
so your answer is 1.4
