To find the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment given the coordinates of its endpoints, we use the midpoint formula:

Midpoint = [(x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2]

where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the endpoints.

Plugging in the given values, we get:

Midpoint = [((4 + 2)/2), ((12 + (-2))/2)]

Simplifying the expression inside the brackets:

Midpoint = [(6/2), (10/2)]

Midpoint = [3, 5]

Therefore, the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment with endpoints A(4, 12) and B(2, -2) are (3, 5).
