Final answer:

To find the coordinates of point P, we can use the midpoint formula. The coordinates of point P are (7,7).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the coordinates of point P, we can use the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula states that the coordinates of the midpoint M, between two points P(x1, y1) and Q(x2, y2), are given by ( (x1+x2) / 2 , (y1+y2) / 2 ).

In this case, we are given the coordinates of M as (2,4) and the coordinates of Q as (12,10). Using the midpoint formula, we can substitute these values to find the coordinates of P as ( (2+12) / 2 , (4+10) / 2 ) = (7, 7).
