Answer: (-0.5, 9)

-0.5 = -1/2

=====================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Add up the x coordinates and then divide the result by 2

(3 + (-4))/2 = (3 - 4)/2 = -1/2 = -0.5

Do the same for the y coordinates

(10+8)/2 = 18/2 = 9

The midpoint is therefore located at (-0.5, 9)

This is the same as saying (-1/2, 9)

The decimal form of this answer might be easier to deal with.
