Answer: (5.5, 8)

Reason:

The x coordinates of the points are 3 and 8

Add them up and divide in half

(3+8)/2 = 11/2 = 5.5

This is the x coordinate of the midpoint.

Repeat similar steps for the y coordinates

(10+6)/2 = 16/2 = 8

The midpoint is located at (5.5, 8)

The diagram is below.

hi

to have coordonnate of midpoint :

( x1+x2) / 2 ; (y1+y2) /2

so : 3+8 = 11 / 2 = 5.5

and : 10 +6 = 16 / 2 = 8

So Midpoint is M ( 5.5 ; 8 )
