Question 507582
First, find the midpoint between (2, 4) and (10, 8)  



Midpoint: ( (x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2 )


Midpoint: ( (2+10)/2, (4+8)/2 )


Midpoint: ( 12/2, 12/2 )


Midpoint: ( 6, 6 )


So the midpoint between (2, 4) and (10, 8) is ( 6, 6 )


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


Now find the midpoint between (2, 4) and ( 6, 6 )




Midpoint: ( (x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2 )


Midpoint: ( (2+6)/2, (4+6)/2 )


Midpoint: ( 8/2, 10/2 )


Midpoint: ( 4, 5 )


So the midpoint between (2, 4) and (6, 6) is (4, 5)



=======================================================

Answer:


So the the point that is one-fourth of the way from (2,4) to (10,8) is (4, 5)
