GIVING 20 POINTS PLS HELP ASAP The distance between two points, a and b, on a number line is expressed as
|a – b|, where a and b are rational numbers. Think about locating a point halfway between a and b on a number line. How can you find the coordinate for such a point? Develop a formula in terms of a and b that you can use to find the coordinate. Your formula must work for positive and negative values of a and b. Does absolute value play a role in your formula? Why or why not? Under what circumstances might your formula be used in the real world? Explain.

Discuss how you can find the coordinate of a point located other fractional distances from a to b (or from b to a). For example, locate a point three-fourths of the distance from a to b. What kind of calculation is involved?

Aschool typically sells 500 yearbooks each year for 50 dollars each. the economic calls does a project and discovers that they can sell 100 more yearbooks for every $5 decrease in price. the revenue for yearbook sales is equal to the number of yearbooks sold times the price of the yearbook. let x represent the number of $5 decrease in price. if the expression that represents the revenue is written in the form r(x)=(500+ax)(50-bx). to maximize profit, what price should the school charge for the yearbooks? what is the possible maximum revenue? if the school attains the maximum revenue, how many yearbooks will they sell?
