Answers: (4, 2) and (8, 2)

========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The two points mentioned in bold are midpoints of segments AB and AC respectively.

To find the coordinates of a midpoint, you add up the x coordinates and divide by 2. Do the same with the y coordinates.

For example, points A and B are at (7,6) and (1,-2)

If we add up the x coordinates and divide by 2, then we get (7+1)/2 = 4. Do the same for the y coordinates to get (6+(-2))/2 = 2. So that's how (4,2) is the midpoint of segment AB. You'll use similar logic to find that (8,2) is the midpoint of segment AC.

A slight alternative is that once you find one midpoint is (4,2), you can draw a horizontal line until you reach (8,2). We're using the idea that the midsegment is parallel to BC which is also horizontal.
