The midpoint formula is [tex]Midpoint: ( x_{m} , y_{m} )=( \frac{sum of x coordinates}{2} , \frac{sum of y coordinates}{2} )[/tex]
Therefore,
[tex] x_{m}= \frac{4+10}{2} =7 [/tex]
[tex]y_{m}= \frac{0+4}{2} =2[/tex]
Answer: (7,2)
You could also plot the points and fold the paper so the points are on top of each other. Make a crease in the paper and when you open it the point where the crease intersects the segment is the midpoint.
