$\left( 10, 8 \right)$ is the midpoint between $\left( 3, 18 \right)$ and $\left( 17, -2 \right)$ .

The midpoint between two points is the point $M$, such that:

• $M$ is the same distance from each point
• $M$ lies on the line segment connecting the two points

The coordinates of the midpoint between the points $(x_1, x_2)$ and $(y_1, y_2)$ are given by the formula: $$M = \left(\frac{x_1 + y_1}{2}, \frac{x_2 + y_2}{2}\right)$$ The coordinates of the midpoint are: $$M = \left( \frac{ 3 + 17 }{2}, \frac{ 18 + -2 }{2} \right) = \left( 10, 8 \right)$$
