5%2B2=7 First add the x-coordinates together to get 7


7%2F2 Divide that result by 2


So the x-coordinate of the midpoint is x=7%2F2


4%2B8=12 Now add the y-coordinates together to get 12


%2812%29%2F2=6 Divide that result by 2


So the y-coordinate of the midpoint is y=6


So the midpoint between the points and is
