~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ C(\stackrel{x_1}{-8}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-6})\qquad D(\stackrel{x_2}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{10}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ -4 -8}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 10 -6}{2} \right) \implies \left(\cfrac{ -12 }{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 4 }{2} \right)\implies \stackrel{\textit{\LARGE M}}{(-6~~,~~2)}
