Question

Enter your answer and show all the steps that you use to solve this problem in the space provided. PB is a line segment on a number line. It has endpoints at -2 and 12. What is the coordinate of its midpoint?

Answer 1

To find the coordinate of the midpoint, we can use the formula:

Midpoint = (Endpoint 1 + Endpoint 2) / 2

In this case, Endpoint 1 is -2 and Endpoint 2 is 12.

Midpoint = (-2 + 12) / 2
Midpoint = 10 / 2
Midpoint = 5

Therefore, the coordinate of the midpoint of the line segment PB is 5.
