Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Choose coordinates for the first point
Let the first point be \( (x_1, y_1) = (2, 4) \).
Step 2: Choose coordinates for the second point
Let the second point be \( (x_2, y_2) = (6, 8) \).
Step 3: Calculate the midpoint
The midpoint \( (M_x, M_y) \) is calculated using the midpoint formula:
\[
M_x = \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \quad M_y = \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}
\]
Substitute the values:
\[
M_x = \frac{2 + 6}{2} = 4, \quad M_y = \frac{4 + 8}{2} = 6
\]
Thus, the midpoint coordinates are \( (4, 6) \).
Final Answer
The midpoint coordinates are \( \boxed{(4, 6)} \).
