Answer: (5, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x coordinates are -4 and 14. They add up to -4+14 = 10. Then this cuts in half to get 10/2 = 5. This is the x coordinate of the midpoint.

We'll follow this same idea for the y coordinates as well.

10+0 = 10 which cuts in half to 10/2 = 5, and this is the y coordinate of the midpoint.

Therefore, the midpoint is (5,5).

Coincidentally, the x and y coordinates are the same for the midpoint (both are 5). This won't always happen.
