Question

what is the coordinate of the midpoint of \\(\overline{kl}\\)?
write your answer as an integer or a decimal, or mixed number in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates of K and L

From the number line, \( K = -1 \) and \( L = 2 \).

Step2: Use midpoint formula

The midpoint formula for two points \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \) is \( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2} \). Substitute \( x_1 = -1 \) and \( x_2 = 2 \):
\( \frac{-1 + 2}{2} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \)

Answer:

\( 0.5 \)
