The given points are


(-5-2i),(3+8i)

These are complex numbers. They work as two-coordinates points because complex numbers have a real part and a complex part. The real part is the horizontal coordinate, and the complex part is the vertical coordinate.

To find the midpoint, we use the following formula


\begin{gathered} M=((-5+3)/(2),(-2+8)/(2)i) \\ M=((-2)/(2),(6)/(2)i) \\ M=(-1,3i) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the middle point is (-1, 3i).
