Add the x values togethe and divided by 2 and do the same with the y values this then will be the coodinates of the midpoint

The midpoint of a line can be found easily by using the midpoint formula. Find the length of the line and simply divide it in two.
Im assuming you mean "how do you find the coordinates of a midpoint", sorry if that is not what you intended. To find the midpoint of two points, you should have two co-ordinates, call them (x1,y1) and (x2,y2). The formula for the co-ordinate of the midpoint is ((x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2).
Given two coordinates (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) The midpoint is ( ((x2+x1)/2) , ((y2+y1)/2) )
For example, if you want to travel from Phoenix to Dallas and you want to split the driving into two days, you would find a "midpoint" (i.e. city roughly in the middle of those two).
If you fold the line segment in half so that the two ends are touching and then crease the paper, the crease will go right through the midpoint of the line segment.
