Answer:

(-1, 6)

Explanation:

The midpoint of a line segment is effectively the point that lies halfway between two pairs of coordinates on a line. The coordinates we're concerned with here are (-4, 10) and (2, 2). So first think about what is halfway between -4 and 2 (or you can add -4 and 2 then divide by 2) and do the same with 10 and 2. This will give you (-1, 6).
