H I N T

If a segment  PQ  in a coordinate plane is given by coordinates of  its  endpoints


    P = (a,b)  and  Q = (c,d),


then the mid point is  M = (,).


So , the simple rule works:


    - x-coordinate of the mid point is arithmetic mean of the x-coordinates of endpoints

    - and similar rule works for y-coordinate.

Having it, you can solve ANY problem of this class ON YOUR OWN.
