Fernando should subtract the y-values. Fernando should subtract the y -values. Fernando has already made a mistake. He should have subtracted the x-values to get 8.9. Fernando has already made a mistake. He should have subtracted the x -values to get 8.9. Fernando has already made a mistake. He should have calculated 6.4+2.5=8.9.

1 answer

The correct next step for Fernando after calculating \(6.4 + (-2.5) = 3.9\) would be to find the midpoint by dividing the result by 2. Thus, the correct response is:

Fernando should divide 3.9 by 2, then repeat both steps using the y-values.
