For the graph shown to the right, find (a) AB to the nearest tenth and (b) the coordinates of the midpoint of AB.
The length of the line in graph is the difference of the two points of the coordinates. AB to the nearest tenth is 7 units and the coordinates of the midpoint of AB is [tex]\left ( 0.5, -4 \right )[/tex].
The points of the line given in the graph are (4,-5) and (-3,-3).
a) The length of the AB.
The length of the line in graph is the difference of the two points of the coordinates.
The length [tex]d[/tex] of line with points [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2, y_2)[/tex] can be given as,
[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{(-3-4)^2+(-3-(-5))^2}[/tex]'
[tex]d=\sqrt{(-7)^2+(2)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{(49+4)}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{53}[/tex]
[tex]d=7.28[/tex]
The length of the line AB to the nearest tenth is 7 units.
b) the coordinates of the midpoint of AB.
The coordinates [tex](x,y)[/tex] of the midpoint of a line with points [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2, y_2)[/tex] can be given as,
[tex](x,y)=\left ( \dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2} \right )[/tex]
[tex](x,y)=\left ( \dfrac{4-3}{2}, \dfrac{-5-3}{2} \right )[/tex]
[tex](x,y)=\left ( \dfrac{1}{2}, \dfrac{-8}{2} \right )[/tex]
[tex](x,y)=\left ( 0.5, -4 \right )[/tex]
Hence the length of the line AB to the nearest tenth is 7 units and the coordinates of the midpoint of AB is [tex]\left ( 0.5, -4 \right )[/tex].
