\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2B2=7\"$ First add the x-coordinates together to get $\"7\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"7%2F2\"$ 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 $\"x=7%2F2\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2B8=12\"$ Now add the y-coordinates together to get $\"12\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2812%29%2F2=6\"$ 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 $\"y=6\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the midpoint between the points

and
