Question

In 20 words or fewer, describe the kind of relationship you see between the x-coordinates of the midpoint and the endpoint not at the origin

Answer 1

Remember, if we have two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) we can draw a segment that connects those two points, and we can define the midpoint of those two endpoints as:

( (x1 + x2)/2. ((y1 + y2)/2)

if we are only in the x-axis, then y = 0.

in this situation one of the endpoints seems to be at the origin, and the other is a given value (X´. 0)

Then, the midpoint is:

( (Xp + 0)/2, 0) = (X´/2, 0)

Then, the relationship is:

"the value at the midpoint is half ot the value at the endpoint that is not at the origin"
