Question

what is the coordinate of the midpoint of \\(\overline{fg}\\)?

write your answer as an integer or a decimal, or mixed number in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates of F and G

From the number line, the coordinate of \( F \) is \( -1 \) and the coordinate of \( G \) is \( 1 \).

Step2: Use midpoint formula

The midpoint formula for two points \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \) on a number line is \( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2} \). Substituting \( x_1 = -1 \) and \( x_2 = 1 \), we get:
\( \frac{-1 + 1}{2} = \frac{0}{2} = 0 \)

Answer:

\( 0 \)
