• Midpoint Formula:
  `\displaystyle ((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2))`

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 ((2+4)/(2),(-4+6)/(2))`
2. [Fraction] Add:
   `\displaystyle ((6)/(2),(2)/(2))`
3. [Fraction] Divide:
   `\displaystyle (3,1)`
