Question

what is the coordinate of the midpoint of vw? write your answer as an integer or a decimal, or mixed number in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the coordinates of V and W

The coordinate of V is - 10 and the coordinate of W is 5.

Step2: Use the mid - point formula for one - dimensional coordinates

The mid - point formula for two points \(x_1\) and \(x_2\) on a number line is \(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}\). Here \(x_1=-10\) and \(x_2 = 5\). So, \(\frac{-10 + 5}{2}=\frac{-5}{2}=-2.5\).

Answer:

-2.5
