Step 1
Vertically: ( y 2 - y 1 ) = ( y - y 1 )
y 1 + y 2 = 2 y
y = y 1 + y 2 2
Horizontally: ( x 2 - x 1 ) = ( x - x 1 )
x 1 + x 2 = 2 x
x = x 1 + x 2 2
The coordinates of the midpoint M ( x , y ) are given by:
( x , y ) = ( x 1 + x 2 2 , y 1 + y 2 2 )
( x , y ) = ( 10 + ( - 8 ) 2 , ( - 3 ) + ( - 5 ) 2 )
( x , y ) = ( 2 2 , - 8 2 )
( x , y )
