Answer:

Midpoint, M is (5,8)

Explanation:

To find the midpoint, average the x's (add and divide by2) then average the y's.

The x's are the first numbers (2+8)/2 is

10/2 which is 5.

The y's are the second numbers in the parentheses, (9+7)/2 is 16/2 which is 8.

So the x of the midpoint is 5 and the y is 8.

The midpoint is (5,8)
