Answer:

The coordinate of the midpoint of AB is (1.5, 3).

Explanation:

The midpoint of AB is the point that is the same distance between both points A and B. In order to find the midpoint, add the x and y values of points A and B respectively, and divide the sum by 2 to find the midpoint of AB.
(1+2)/(2) = 1.5, so the x value of the midpoint is 1.5.
(0+6)/(2) = 3, so the y value of the midpoint is 3. You'll get that the coordinate of the midpoint of AB is (1.5, 3).
