PLEASE HURRYYYY

In this case, the formula you would use is (a+c)/2 , (b+d)/2.

In reality, you’re using the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula is as follows:

(x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2


For example,
If you had point (2,4) and (4,8) you would plug in the equation as follows.

(2,4) = x1,y1
(4,8) = x2,y2

(2+4)/2 , (4+8)/2
6/2 , 12/2
(3,6)

So the midpoint of the two points (2,4) and (4,8) would be (3,6).
