Answer

Step 4: Simplify the fractions to get the coordinates of the midpoint M.

Steps

Step 1 :Step 1: Write down the coordinates of points A and B. A(4, 7) and B(10, 15).

Step 2 :Step 2: Use the midpoint formula, which is \((\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2}}{2})\).

Step 3 :Step 3: Substitute the given coordinates into the formula. So, the midpoint M is \((\frac{4 + 10}{2}, \frac{7 + 15}{2})\).

Step 4 :Step 4: Simplify the fractions to get the coordinates of the midpoint M.
