Exercise 6 Page 54

Take the mean of given endpoints.

3

Practice makes perfect
To find the midpoint, we can take the mean of given endpoints. M=a+b/2The coordinates of the given endpoints are 2 and 4. Let's use these to find the coordinates of the midpoint.
M=a+b/2
M=2+ 4/2
M=6/2
M=3
The midpoint is located at 3.
