Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Find the coordinates of points A and B

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

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 \(1\))
