(-sqrt(2)/2, 2)(22,2)

Explanation:

The midpoint formula tells us the midpoint between two coordinate pairs (x_1,y_1), (x_2, y_2) = ((x_1+x_2)/2, (y_1+y_2)/2)(x1,y1),(x2,y2)=(x1+x22,y1+y22).

Here, x_1=0, x_2=-sqrt(2), y_1=4, y_2=0x1=0,x2=2,y1=4,y2=0, so the midpoint is

(-sqrt(2)/2, 4/2)=(-sqrt(2/2), 2)(22,42)=(22,2)
