Question

Find the coordinate of the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints.
-6 and -4

Answer 1

-5

Explanation:

Let's assume the you are moving horizontally along the number line. If you start at -4 and jump to -6, you have made 2 jumps to the left(-4;-5;-6). So halfway between them (the midpoint) is 1 jump (half of 2 jumps).

1 jump to the left of -4.... You land at -5.
