Explanation:

To find the x-coordinate of the midpoint of a segment, add the x-coordinates of the endpoints and divide by 2.

To find the y-coordinate of the midpoint of a segment, add the y-coordinates of the endpoints and divide by 2.

Example:

Find the midpoint of the segment with endpoints (2, 8) and (-5, 12).

x-coordinate of the midpoint: (2 + (-5))/2 = -3/2

y-coordinate: (8 + 12)/2 = 30/2 = 15

Midpoint: (-3/2, 15)

Answer:

The midpoint is halfway between two end points.

The x value is halfway between the two x values and

the y value is also halfway between the two y values.

Add both the x and y coordinates and divide by 2.
