Point X is at -1/2 and point Y is at 7/2 on a number line. A point Z divides XY so that Z is the midpoint of XY. Then the midpoint of X and Z is which rational number?

Question

Accepted Answer

1/2. Z = -1/2 + 7/22 = 6/2/2 = 3/2. Midpoint of X(-1/2) and Z(3/2) = -1/2 + 3/22 = 1/2.

Point X is at $- \frac{1}{2}$ and point Y is at $\frac{7}{2}$ on a number line.
A point Z divides XY so that Z is the midpoint of XY.
Then the midpoint of X and Z is which rational number?
