Question

find the location of k, the midpoint of \\(\overline{jl}\\).
(image of a number line with j at -9 and l at -3)
location of k : \\(\square\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates of J and L

From the number line, J is at -9, L is at -3.

Step2: Apply midpoint formula

Midpoint = $\frac{J + L}{2} = \frac{-9 + (-3)}{2}$

Step3: Calculate the value

$\frac{-12}{2} = -6$

Answer:

-6
