Explain how to find the midpoint of a line segment using the midpoint formula.

• The midpoint of a line segment can be found by subtracting the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates of the endpoints.

• The midpoint of a line segment can be found by multiplying the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates of the endpoints.

• The midpoint of a line segment can be found by taking the maximum of the x-coordinates and the maximum of the y-coordinates of the endpoints.

• The midpoint of a line segment can be found by taking the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates of the endpoints.
