Given the graph of the line segment KL on the number line
As shown:
The coordinates of k = -9
The coordinates of L = 15
a. What is KL?
[tex]\begin{gathered} KL=15-(-9)=15+9=24 \\ KL=24 \end{gathered}[/tex]
b. What is the coordinate of the midpoint of KL?
Let the midpoint = M
[tex]M=\frac{K+L}{2}=\frac{-9+15}{2}=\frac{6}{2}=3[/tex]
So, the coordinates of the midpoint = 3
