Question

what is the midpoint of lq?
point m
point n
point p
point q

Explanation:

Step1: Find the coordinates of L and Q

From the number line, the coordinate of \( L=-4 \) and the coordinate of \( Q = 8 \).

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 \(x_1=-4\) and \(x_2 = 8\) into the formula: \(M=\frac{-4 + 8}{2}\).
First, calculate the numerator: \(-4+8 = 4\).
Then, divide by 2: \(\frac{4}{2}=2\).

Answer:

point N
