Question 649596: PB_has endpoints at �2 and 12. What is the coordinate of its midpoint?

First we have to add up the total number of spaces (on a number line) between -2 and 12. There is approximately 14.
14/2 is 7. The midpoint if seven spots more than -2 and seven spots less than 12
-2+7=5
12-7=5
They match!
Final Answer: [5]
