Answer:

(4,2)

Explanation:

Since, the coordinates of midpoint of a line having end points
(x_1,y_1) and
(x_2,y_2) are,


((x_1+x_2)/(2), (y_1+y_2)/(2))

Given,

PQ has endpoints P(0,0) and Q(8,4)

Thus, the coordinates of the midpoint of PQ are,


((0+8)/(2),(0+4)/(2))


=((8)/(2),(4)/(2))


=(4,2)
