Answer:

M = (4,7)

Explanation:

If points are (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂), then the midpoints are given by :


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

We have,

x₁ = -2, y₁ = 8, x₂ = 10 and y₂ = 6

So,


M=((-2+10)/(2),(8+6)/(2))\\\\=((8)/(2),(14)/(2))\\\\=(4,7)

So, the midpoints of the given points are (4,7).
