Create an arbitrary line in that plane. Project each point onto that line a.k.a for each point, get the closest point on that line to that point.
Order those points along the line in either direction, and choose a point on that line such that there is an equal number of points on the line in either direction.
Get the line perpendicular to the first line which passes through that point. This line will have half the original points on either side.
There are some cases to avoid when doing this. Most importantly, if all the point are themselves on a single line, don't choose a perpendicular line which passes through it. In fact, choose that line itself so you don't have to worry about projecting the points. In terms of the actual mathematics behind this, vector projections will be very useful.
