Answer: (13,-7)

Explanation:

By using the formula
(x_(m),y_(m)) =((x_(1)+x_(2) )/(2),(y_(1)+y_(2) )/(2) )


(x_(m),y_(m))\\ is the coordinates of the midpoint.

For finding the midpoint X variable do:


((4+22)/(2))=13

For finding the midpoint Y variable do:


(-10+(-4))/(2) = -7 (you can either keep the parenthesis or take them out. Either way, the answer is the same.

Considering coordinate numbers follow the format: (x,y), you'll simply just substitute the numbers found above into their respective places.

x: 13

y: -7

(13,-7).
