I think its 5 but im not sure how to show my work please help

Answer 1

Answer:

The midpoint is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two numbers is equal to

$M=(\frac{x1+x2}{2})$

we have

The endpoints at -2 and 12

substitute the values in the formula

$M=(\frac{-2+12}{2})$

$M=(5)$

therefore

The midpoint is 5
