Write your answer as an integer or a decimal, or mixed number in simplest form.


Since the problem asks for the answer to be written as an integer, decimal, or mixed number in simplest form, the coordinate of the midpoint \( M \) as calculated earlier is \( -0.5 \).

The answer in decimal form is:

\[
\boxed{-0.5}
\]

This is already in its simplest form as a decimal.

2. What would the midpoint be if the points were \( U = -3 \) and \( V = 4 \)?
3. Can the midpoint be a fraction instead of a decimal?
4. How would you write \( -0.5 \) as a mixed number?
5. How can the midpoint formula be extended to 3-dimensional coordinates?
6. What are some real-life examples where finding a midpoint is useful?
7. How would you explain the concept of a midpoint to someone new to geometry?
8. What happens to the midpoint if both points \( U \) and \( V \) are negative?

**Tip:** When expressing your answer, be sure to match the format requested (integer, decimal, or mixed number) for clarity and precision.
