\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"6%2B12=18\"$ First add the x-coordinates together to get $\"18\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2818%29%2F2=9\"$ Divide that result by 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the x-coordinate of the midpoint is $\"x=9\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"8%2B16=24\"$ Now add the y-coordinates together to get $\"24\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2824%29%2F2=12\"$ Divide that result by 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the y-coordinate of the midpoint is $\"y=12\"$ \r
