Oh honey, you've got yourself a classic case of finding the average of two points in a coordinate plane. All you need to do is add the x-coordinates (x1 + x2) and divide by 2 to get the x-coordinate of the midpoint. Then do the same for the y-coordinates (y1 + y2), divide by 2, and voila, you've got the y-coordinate of the midpoint. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Given two coordinates (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) The midpoint is ( ((x2+x1)/2) , ((y2+y1)/2) )
Oh, don't you worry, friend! When using the slope formula, whether you do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) or (y1-y2)/(x1-x2), the answer will be the same! It's all about the difference in vertical and horizontal values, and as long as you stay consistent in your calculations, you'll find the slope just fine. Just trust your instincts and enjoy the process of solving the equation.
midpoint=(X1 + X2, Y1 + Y2)divide both of those by 2.X1 + X2 divided by 2 should give you the co ordinate for X.
The formula is the square root of: (x2-x1)^2 plus (y2-y1)^2
