Answer:

(12,-3/2)

Explanation:

1) take average of "x" values

(Since midpoint is in the middle we need to take the averages of endpoints to find the point in the middle)

(14+10)/2

24/2=12

x coordinate of midpoint: (12, )

2) take average of "y" values:

(3-6)/2

-3/2

y coordinate of midpoint ( ,-3/2)

hence (12,-3/2) is the midpoint
