Question 762832: 1.) On a number line, point A has coordinate –6, and B has coordinate 2. Which is the coordinate of point M, the midpoint of segment AB?
a. 4
b. 0
c. –2
d. –3

Answer by Cromlix(4381)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The number of units between -6 and 2 is 8
8/2 = 4
So, either add 4 to -6 = -2
or subtract 4 from 2 = -2
-2 is your answer.
Hope this helps.
