Question

question 4 of 5 use the drawing tool(s) to form the correct answers on the provided number line. draw a line segment that has a length of 6 units with one endpoint located at 8 on the number line. then, use the mark feature tool to indicate the location of the mid - point of the line segment.

Explanation:

Step1: Find the other endpoint

If one endpoint is at 8 and the length is 6 units, there are two cases. Case 1: Moving to the left, the other endpoint is $8 - 6=2$. Case 2: Moving to the right, the other endpoint is $8 + 6 = 14$.

Step2: Calculate the mid - point

Case 1 (endpoints 2 and 8): The mid - point formula for two points $a$ and $b$ on a number line is $\frac{a + b}{2}$. So the mid - point is $\frac{2+8}{2}=5$. Case 2 (endpoints 8 and 14): The mid - point is $\frac{8 + 14}{2}=11$.

Answer:

Draw a line segment from 2 to 8 or from 8 to 14. Mark the mid - point at 5 for the segment from 2 to 8 or at 11 for the segment from 8 to 14.
