Finding the Midpoint of Rational Numbers

Consider a number line where the point A represents the rational number $$-\frac{3}{4}$$ and the point B represents the rational number $$\frac{5}{8}$$.

Let point C be the midpoint between points A and B. What is the value of the rational number representing point C?

To find the midpoint between two numbers $$x$$ and $$y$$ on a number line, use the formula:

$$\text{Midpoint} = \frac{x + y}{2}$$
