To determine

To Find: the coordinate of the mid-point of AB on a number line given point A has coordinate $-5$ and B has coordinate $3$ .

Answer to Problem 4CUR

  $-1$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Point A has coordinate $-5$ and B has coordinate $3$ .

Calculation:

Midpoint of AB

  $\begin{array}{l}=\frac{-5+3}{2}\\ =\frac{-2}{2}\\ =-1\end{array}$

Therefore, the answer is $-1$ .
