To find the midpoint of a segment with two endpoints, you need to average the coordinates of the two endpoints.
The x-coordinate of the midpoint is found by taking the average of the x-coordinates of the two endpoints. In this case, the average of 7 and 2 is (7+2)/2 = 9/2 = 4.5.
Similarly, the y-coordinate of the midpoint is found by taking the average of the y-coordinates of the two endpoints. In this case, the average of 10 and 5 is (10+5)/2 = 15/2 = 7.5.
Therefore, the midpoint of the segment with endpoints (7,10) and (2,5) is (4.5,7.5).
