Question

What is the midpoint of lq?

Answer 1

Distance fro te origine (zero) to Q = 8
Distance fro te origine (zero) to L = -4
Mid distance of QL = (8-4)/2 = 2, this correspond with the point N

Answer 2

The midpoint of LQ is N.

Given:

$L = -4$

$Q = 8$

The midpoint of LQ is half the distance between point L and Q.

Thus:

$\frac{1}{2} LQ = \frac{LQ}{2}$

$= \frac{|-4 - 8|}{2}\\= \frac{12}{2}\\= 6 units$

Therefore, the midpoint of LQ would be 6 units away from point L.

Which is:

$-4 + 6 = 2$

The coordinate of N on the numberline is N, therefore, the midpoint of LQ is N.
