Question

what is the coordinate of the midpoint of \\(\overline{uv}\\)?
u is at 4, v is at 5 on a number line from 4 to 10 with ticks at 4,5,6,7,8,9,10.
write your answer as an integer or a decimal, or mixed number in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates of U and V

U is at 4, V is at 5.

Step2: Apply midpoint formula

Midpoint formula for two points \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \) is \( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2} \). Substitute \( x_1 = 4 \), \( x_2 = 5 \): \( \frac{4 + 5}{2} = \frac{9}{2} = 4.5 \).

Answer:

4.5
