$\bf \textit{middle point of 2 points }\\ \quad \\ \begin{array}{lllll} &x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\ % (a,b) C&({{ 0}}\quad ,&{{ -8}})\quad % (c,d) D&({{ 3}}\quad ,&{{ 0}}) \end{array}\qquad % coordinates of midpoint \left(\cfrac{{{ x_2}} + {{ x_1}}}{2}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{{{ y_2}} + {{ y_1}}}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left( \cfrac{3+0}{2}~,~\cfrac{0-8}{2} \right)\implies \left((3)/(2)~,~-4 \right)$
