Question

Point a is located at (0, 4) and point b is located at (−2, −3). find the x value for the point that is the distance from point a to point
b. −1.5 −2 −0.5 −1

Answer 1

the answer is -0.5 because

[0+(-2)÷2, 4+(-3)÷2]
[0-2÷2, 4-3÷2]
[-1 ,0.5]

》》 the locus is

-1.5+5=.5

Answer 2

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Point a is located at (0, 4) and point b is located at (−2, −3).

To Find : find the x value for the point that is the distance from point a to point  b.

Solution:

We are supposed to find the x coordinate of mid point

Mid point formula : $x=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}$  and $y=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}$

$(x_1,y_1)=(0,4)$

$(x_2,y_2)=(-2,-3)$

Substitute the values in the formula

$x=\frac{0-2}{2}$  and $y=\frac{-3+4}{2}$

$x=-1$  and $y=\frac{-1}{2}$

So, the x value for the point that is the distance from point a to point b is -1
