Apply the midpoint formulas to find the coordinates of the midpoint of PQ, call that point M. Then apply the midpoint formulas to find the midpoint of PM.

Midpoint formulas:

and



Write back and tell me the coordinates you derived for the required point and I'll let you know whether you are correct or not.
