Explanation:

we are given the midpoint formula in the image, we just need to plug in values. here, we have
(x_1,y_1)=(-3,4) and
(x_2,y_2)=(5,8). now, we plug in the values to find the midpoint.


M=\bigg((-3+5)/(2),(4+8)/(2)\bigg)

then simplify:


M=\bigg((2)/(2),(12)/(2)\bigg)=(1,6)

so, our midpoint is (1,6)

Answer:

midpoint M = (1, 6 )

Explanation:

calculate the midpoint M using the midpoint formula

M = (
(x_(1)+x_(2) )/(2) ,
(y_(1)+y_(2) )/(2) )

let (x₁, y₁ ) = A (- 3, 4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B (5, 8 )

substitute these values into the formula for M

M = (
(-3+5)/(2) ,
(4+8)/(2) ) = (
(2)/(2) ,
(12)/(2) ) = (1, 6 )
