Well, you probably haven't been doing exactly that, since the smallest thing Subversion lets you check out is a directory (you cannot check out a file).

Look in your apache configuration (e.g. your httpd.conf or apache.conf or similar file, or possibly a file included from one of those files). In it you will find an SVNPath or SVNParentPath directive which lists the location on disk where your repositories are stored. That will tell you the path to use for any svnadmin commands.
