Question

what is the coordinate of the midpoint of $overline{uv}$? write your answer as an integer or a decimal, or mixed number in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mid - point formula

For two points $a$ and $b$ on a number line, the mid - point $M=\frac{a + b}{2}$. Here $a=-2$ and $b = 1$.

Step2: Calculate the mid - point

$M=\frac{-2 + 1}{2}=\frac{-1}{2}=-0.5$

Answer:

$-0.5$
