The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. Hence, the point of intersection of the two diagonals is the midpoint of either. Use the midpoint formulas:
and
where )
and )
are the coordinates of the given points and )
will be the coordinates of the midpoint (and point of intersection in this case)
