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]
