1) Examining the number line, we know that RP is a line segment. And the midpoint is located at half the segment RP.

2) Then on the number line we can write out, the following:

We can take the average of those points -8 and -1


(-8+(-1))/(2)=(-8-1)/(2)=-(9)/(2)

3) Hence, the midpoint of this line segment RP is -9/2 or -4.5
