1. Problem Description

We are given the coordinates of two points, C(4,10)C(4, 10) and D(20,18)D(20, 18). We are also told that MM is the midpoint of the line segment CDCD. We need to find the coordinates of point MM.

2. Solution Steps

The midpoint formula is given by:
M=(x1+x22,y1+y22)M = (\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})
where (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2) are the coordinates of the two endpoints of the line segment.
In this case, C(4,10)C(4, 10) corresponds to (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and D(20,18)D(20, 18) corresponds to (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2).
Therefore, x1=4x_1 = 4, y1=10y_1 = 10, x2=20x_2 = 20, and y2=18y_2 = 18.
Substituting these values into the midpoint formula, we have:
M=(4+202,10+182)M = (\frac{4 + 20}{2}, \frac{10 + 18}{2})
M=(242,282)M = (\frac{24}{2}, \frac{28}{2})
M=(12,14)M = (12, 14)

3. Final Answer

The coordinates of point MM are (12,14)(12, 14).
