If the 2 given points are endpoints, then we're in business. The formula for the midpoint is
M=( ( x_(1)+ x_(2) )/(2), ( y_(1) + y_(2) )/(2)). If the endpoints of our segment are the coordinates (1,2) and (12,14), our formula would be filled in as follows:
M=( (1+12)/(2), (2+14)/(2)) which simplifies to (13/2, 8). See? It's pretty simple once you know how to do it.
