Answer:

The midpoint is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

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

[tex]M=(\frac{x1+x2}{2})[/tex]

we have

The endpoints at -2 and 12

substitute the values in the formula

[tex]M=(\frac{-2+12}{2})[/tex]

[tex]M=(5)[/tex]

therefore

The midpoint is 5
