What is the abscissa of the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are (5, 2) and (2, 2)?

Midpoint is (3.5, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

the midpoint of the line segment whose endpoints are (5, 2) and (2, 2)

To find midpoint of two end points we use formula

(5, 2) , x1 = 5  and y1= 2

(2,2), x2=2  and y2= 2

Plug in all the values and find the midpoint using the formula

(3.5, 2)

So midpoint is (3.5,2)

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents

- (2, -7)

- lines r and s and lines t and u must be parallel
