Answer:

To find the point that is halfway between A(4, -2) and B(12, 10), we can find the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates.

average x-coordinate = (4 + 12)/2 = 8 average y-coordinate = (-2 + 10)/2 = 4

Therefore, the point that is halfway between A and B has the coordinates (8, 4), which is answer choice B.
