By midpoint formula,
Midpoint of ST = #(5, -0.5)#

S = (4,-1) where 4 = #x_"1"# and -1 = #y_"1'"#
T = (6,0) where 6 = #x_"2"# and 0 = #y_"2"#

Midpoint Formula => #( (x_"1" + x_"2")/2 , (y_"1" + y_"2")/2)#

Substituting the values of # x_"1",y_"1'",x_"2",y_"2"# in the formula gives

#( (4 + 6)/2 , (-1+0)/2)#

#( 5 , -0.5)#

Mid point "M" is at # (5, -1/2)#

Mid point "M" is at#((x_1+x_2)/2,(y_1+y_2)/2)=((4+6)/2,(-1+0)/2) or (5, -1/2)#[Ans]
