• Midpoint Formula: $\displaystyle (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point L(2, -4)

Point M(4, 6)

Step 2: Find Midpoint

Simply plug in your coordinates into the midpoint formula to find midpoint

1. Substitute in points [MF]:                    $\displaystyle (\frac{2+4}{2},\frac{-4+6}{2})$
2. [Fraction] Add:                                     $\displaystyle (\frac{6}{2},\frac{2}{2})$
3. [Fraction] Divide:                                 $\displaystyle (3,1)$
