Average the x-coordinates of the endpoints and the y-coordinates of the endpoints. Those averages will be the (x,y) coordinates of the midpoint.
For example, the midpoint of the segment KH would be:
((-9+5)/2, (3+7)/2)
which equals
(-2, 5).
Hopefully that helps!

To find the coordinates of the midpoint, all you have to do with each given pair of endpoints is take the average of the x-values, that is the x-coordinate. Do the same with the average of the y-values.
m(K, H) = (-2, 5)
Your coordinates for point W are incomplete, so I can't finish it, but the x-coordinate of the midpoint of segment WT is -10.

The coords. of a midpoint of a segment whose endpoints are (a, b) and (c, d) are ([a+c]/2, [b+d]/2),
For KH, its midpoint is ((-9+5)/2, (3+7)/2) = (-2, 5)
For WT, its midpoint is ((-12-8)/2, ?+4/2) ..

midpoint formula is x one + x 2 (or first x plus the 2nd) divided by using 2. then y one plus y 2 divided by using 2. it rather is straight forward....merely plug in the coordinates, yet i wont teach you the paintings cuz you wont study that way.
