Answer: 5

Explanation:

The x-coordinate of the midpoint of the segment is the average of the x-coordinates of the two endpoints.

Therefore, the x-coordinate of the midpoint of AB is the average of the x-coordinate of A and the x-coordinate of B.

We are given that the x-coordinate of A is 62 and of B is -42.

The average of 62 and -42 = (62-42)/2 = 10/2 = 5
