Answer:
m((5)/(2),8)

Explanation:

Problem: (-3, 6), (8, 10)

1. Denote the points


(x_(1),y_(y) )=(-3,6)\\ (x_(2), y_(2) =(8, 10)

2. Equate the coordinates


x_(1)=-3, x_(2)=8\\y_(1)=6, y_(2) =10

3. Calculate the x and y coordinate


(5)/(2)\\ 8

The obtained values x =
(5)/(2) and y = 8 are the coordinates of the midpoint M (x, y)

Use the midpoint formula to help you find the midpoint of the line segment.

In this case, the midpoint would be
((5)/(2), 8).

Hope this helps! If so, lmk! Thanks and good luck!
