Answer:

(6, 2)

Explanation:

Midpoint between two points


\textsf{Midpoint}=\left((x_2+x_1)/(2),(y_2+y_1)/(2)\right)\\\\\textsf{where}\:(x_1,y_1)\:\textsf{and}\:(x_2,y_2)\:\textsf{are the endpoints}}\right)

Defined points:


  • (x_1,y_1)=(8,-2)

  • (x_2,y_2)=(4,6)

Substitute the defined points into the formula:


\textsf{Midpoint}=\left((4+8)/(2),(6-2)/(2)\right)=(6,2)

Therefore, the midpoint of the two given points is (6, 2).
