On a number line, A is at 5 and B is at 50. Point X is the midpoint. Point T is 2/3 of the way from X to B. Determine the coordinate of point T.

Respuesta :

Number lines are used to represent points at regular interval.

The coordinate of point T on the number line is: 46.5

Given that:

[tex]A =5[/tex]

[tex]B = 50[/tex]

The coordinate of X at the midpoint is:

[tex]X = \frac{B + A}{2}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]X = \frac{50+5}{2}[/tex]

[tex]X = \frac{55}{2}[/tex]

[tex]X = 27.5[/tex]

Point T is at 2/3 from X to B.

The coordinate of T is calculated using:

[tex]T = X + \frac 23 (B - X + 1)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]T = 27.5 + \frac 23 (55 - 27.5 + 1)[/tex]

[tex]T = 27.5 + \frac 23 (28.5)[/tex]

[tex]T = 27.5 + 19[/tex]

[tex]T = 46.5[/tex]

Hence, T is located at 46.5
