the midpoint can be found by averaging the x and y values. To get the mid x value, average the x coordinates.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28-4%2B%28-8%29%29%2F2=-6\"$ -6 is the mid x-coordinate
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28-2%2B10%29%2F2=-6\"$ -6 is the mid y-coordinate
\n" ); document.write( "So the mid point is (-6,-6)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
