what is the distance and midpoint between points d and e on the number line?
distance=
midpoint=

Explanation:

Step1: Find the coordinates of D and E

From the number line, \(D=-1.75\), \(E = 2.25\)

Step2: Calculate the distance

The distance formula between two points \(a\) and \(b\) on a number line is \(|a - b|\).
So, \(| - 1.75-2.25|=|-4| = 4\)

Step3: Calculate the midpoint

The midpoint formula between two points \(a\) and \(b\) on a number line is \(\frac{a + b}{2}\)
\(\frac{-1.75 + 2.25}{2}=\frac{0.5}{2}=0.25\)

Answer:

distance = \(4\), midpoint = \(0.25\)
