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

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Find endpoints from graph.

Point P (-4, 6)

Point Q (8, -6)

Step 2: Find Midpoint

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

1. Substitute [MF]:                    $(\frac{-4+8}{2},\frac{6-6}{2})$
2. Add/Subtract:                       $(\frac{4}{2},\frac{0}{2})$
3. Divide:                                  $(2,0)$
