Question

what is the coordinate of the midpoint of \\(\overline{fg}\\)?

write your answer as an integer or a decimal, or mixed number in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates of F and G

From the number line, \( F \) is at \( 1 \) and \( G \) is at \( 2 \).

Step2: Use midpoint formula

The midpoint formula for two points \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \) is \( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2} \). Substituting \( x_1 = 1 \) and \( x_2 = 2 \), we get \( \frac{1 + 2}{2}=\frac{3}{2} = 1.5 \).

Answer:

\( 1.5 \)
