To find the midpoint, first we need to find the individual coordinates of the midpoint.


X-Coordinate of the Midpoint:




To find the x-coordinate of the midpoint, simply average the two x-coordinates of the given points by adding them up and dividing that result by 2 like this:


x%5Bmid%5D=%288%2B2%29%2F2=10%2F2=5


So the x-coordinate of the midpoint is x=5


-----------------------------------------------------


Y-Coordinate of the Midpoint:




To find the y-coordinate of the midpoint, simply average the two y-coordinates of the given points by adding them up and dividing that result by 2 like this:


y%5Bmid%5D=%2814%2B6%29%2F2=20%2F2=10


So the y-coordinate of the midpoint is y=10


So the midpoint between the points and is
