Final answer:

The coordinates of the midpoint M of the line segment with endpoints C(7, 8) and D(5, 0) are (6, 4), found using the midpoint formula.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the coordinates of the midpoint M of a line segment with endpoints C(7, 8) and D(5, 0), you can use the midpoint formula which is ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2). In this case, the x-coordinates of the endpoints are 7 and 5, and the y-coordinates are 8 and 0.

The midpoint M's x-coordinate is calculated as (7 + 5)/2 which equals 6. Similarly, the midpoint M's y-coordinate is calculated as (8 + 0)/2 which equals 4.

Therefore, the coordinates of midpoint M are (6, 4).
