Question

find the location of b, the midpoint of \\(\overline{ac}\\). location of b :

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates of A and C

Point $A$ is at $-10$, point $C$ is at $-6$.

Step2: Apply midpoint formula

Midpoint $B = \frac{x_A + x_C}{2}$
$\frac{-10 + (-6)}{2} = \frac{-16}{2}$

Step3: Calculate final value

Simplify the expression to get the midpoint.

Answer:

$-8$
