To find the midpoint, first we need to find the individual coordinates of the midpoint.


X-Coordinate of the Midpoint:




To find the x-coordinate of the midpoint, simply average the two x-coordinates of the given points by adding them up and dividing that result by 2 like this:





So the x-coordinate of the midpoint is

Y-Coordinate of the Midpoint:




To find the y-coordinate of the midpoint, simply average the two y-coordinates of the given points by adding them up and dividing that result by 2 like this:





So the y-coordinate of the midpoint is


So the midpoint between the points and is
