1. **State the problem:**
LaTanya wants to find the midpoint between points A and B to center a picture along the back wall.
2. **Formula for midpoint:**
The midpoint $M$ between two points $A(x_1,y_1)$ and $B(x_2,y_2)$ is given by:
$$M = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right)$$
3. **Apply the formula for points A and B:**
Given $A = (1,10)$ and $B = (12,10)$,
$$M = \left( \frac{1 + 12}{2}, \frac{10 + 10}{2} \right)$$
4. **Calculate each coordinate:**
$$M = \left( \frac{13}{2}, \frac{20}{2} \right)$$
5. **Simplify the fractions:**
$$M = \left( \cancel{\frac{13}{2}}, \cancel{\frac{20}{2}} \right) = (6.5, 10)$$
6. **Interpretation:**
The picture should be centered at point $(6.5, 10)$ along the back wall.
