Question

what is the midpoint of ab?
point i
point h
point g
point f

Explanation:

Step1: Find the coordinates of points A and B

From the number line, the coordinate of point A is \(a=-6\) and the coordinate of point B is \(b = 8\).

Step2: Use the mid - point formula

The mid - point formula for two points \(x_1\) and \(x_2\) on a number line is \(M=\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}\).
Substitute \(x_1=-6\) and \(x_2 = 8\) into the formula: \(M=\frac{-6 + 8}{2}\).
First, calculate the numerator: \(-6+8 = 2\).
Then, divide by 2: \(\frac{2}{2}=1\).

Answer:

point G (since the coordinate of point G is 1)
