Answer: The midpoint of line segment AB is,

(4,3)

Explanation:

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

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

Thus, the coordinates of midpoint of the line segment AB having endpoints A(9, 8) and B(-1, -2) are,

((9+(-1))/(2),(8+(-2))/(2))

=((9-1)/(2), (8-2)/(2))

=((8)/(2), (6)/(2))

=(4,3)
