Question

In order to divide a line segment into 16 equal parts, you would have to use the midpoint formula 16 times.

(A) True
(B) False

Answer 1

B false we should not use

Answer 2

This statement is false.

Explanation:

You will use the mid point formula 15 times as there are 15 divisions needed to break it up into 16 intervals.

If you use the method 16 times, it will divide the line segment in 17 times.

The formula is given by:

`((x_1+x_2)/(2) ,(y_1+y_2)/(2) )`
