PB is a line segment on a number line. It has endpoints at -2 and 12 what is the coordinate of its midpoint?
its (5,0)
I need help i don't understand how do i find the midpoint if i only have one coordinate?
You have two endpoints. What number is in the middle between -2 and +12?

No. Did you check the line I posted above?
Is it 8?
To find the coordinate of the midpoint of a line segment on a number line, we can use the formula:
Midpoint = Average of the coordinates of the endpoints
In this case, the endpoints are located at -2 and 12. To find the average, we add the two coordinates and divide the sum by 2.
Sum of coordinates = -2 + 12 = 10
Midpoint = 10 / 2 = 5
Therefore, the coordinate of the midpoint of the line segment PB is 5.
