Find the midpoint of the line segment between the points (6, 8) and (4, 10)

  1. (2, 5)

  2. (5, 9)

  3. (10, 7)

  4. (5, 6)

The correct answer is: (5, 9)

The midpoint is the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates. The x-coordinate of the midpoint is (6+4)/2 = 5 and the y-coordinate is (8+10)/2 = 9. Therefore the midpoint is at (5, 9). Option A is incorrect because it is the midpoint between (6, 8) and (0, 0) instead of (6, 8) and (4, 10). Option C is incorrect because it is the midpoint between (6, 8) and (20, 14) instead of (6, 8) and (4, 10). Option D is incorrect because it is the midpoint between (1, 3) and (9, 12) instead of (6, 8) and (4, 10).
