To find the midpoint of a line segment, you just calculate the averages of the coordinates! The Midpoint Formula: The midpoint of two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is the point M found by the following formula:
M= ([x^1+x^2]/2, [y^1+y^2]/2). I hope this helped!

Calcilate the averages of the coordinates

ex

(4,6) (8,10)

4+8=12 12/2=6 x=6

6+10=16 16/2=8 y=8 midpoint=(6,8)
