The midpoint would be (7, 5)

The midpoint of any two points is simply the average of the x points and the average of the y points. So we'll start by averaging the 2 x points together. To take an average, we add the two numbers together and divide by 2.

X VALUE

4 + 10 = 14

14/2 = 7

Now do the same for y

Y VALUE

22 + -12 = 10

10/2 = 5

Using those answers we can create the ordered pair (7, 5)
