When calculating the midpoint of the points (3,1) and (11,7), what is the midpoint?
It's just a matter of:

1. averaging the two x-coordinates.
2. averaging the two y-coordinates.

The average of the two x-components is %283%2B11%29%2F2=14%2F2=7.
The average of the two y-components is %281%2B7%29%2F2=8%2F2=4

So the midpoint between (3,1) and (11,7) is (7,4).  See?:
