Question

use the number line to find the coordinate of the midpoint of $overline{mp}$.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates

The coordinate of $M$ is $0$ and the coordinate of $P$ is $5$.

Step2: Apply mid - point formula

The mid - point formula for two points $x_1$ and $x_2$ on a number line is $\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}$. Here $x_1=0$ and $x_2 = 5$. So, $\frac{0 + 5}{2}=\frac{5}{2}=2.5$.

Answer:

$2.5$
