Use the midpoint formula
x%5Bm%5D=%28x%5B1%5D%2Bx%5B2%5D%29%2F2
y%5Bm%5D=%28y%5B1%5D%2By%5B2%5D%29%2F2

Find the midpoint of the line segment with the given end points (2,1) and (6,8)
------------
x-coordinate is average of 2 and 6: (2+6)/2 = 4
---
y-coordinate is average of 1 and 8: (1+8)/2 = 4.5
-------------------------
Ans: (4,4.5)
