Question

Points A and B lie on a number line. With point A at - 2 and point B at 8. Find the midpoint of AB,I know the answer it's 3 but, can you write me a vivid image on how exactly 3 is the answer. Thank you I appreciate it,happy fall.

Answer 1

Midpoint of AB = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two points A and B on a number line, the midpoint of segment AB can be found using the formula below:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Midpoint}=(x_1+x_2)/(2) \\ x_1=-2 \\ x_2=8 \\ \text{Therefore:} \\ \text{Midpoint of AB}=(-2+8)/(2) \\ =(6)/(2) \\ =3 \end{gathered}`
