Question

what is the midpoint of (overline{fb})?
number line with points: a at -6, f at -2, g at 1, h at 2, l at 3, b at 8
\\(\circ\\) point a
\\(\circ\\) point g
\\(\circ\\) point h
\\(\circ\\) point l

Explanation:

Step1: Find coordinates of F and B

From the number line, F is at -2, B is at 8.

Step2: Use midpoint formula

Midpoint formula: $\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}$, where $x_1 = -2$, $x_2 = 8$.
$\frac{-2 + 8}{2} = \frac{6}{2} = 3$.

Step3: Identify point at 3

Point L is at 3.

Answer:

point L
