S( -8, 7)

V( 4, 3)

Midpoint is given by the formula;


(x_m,y_m)=((x_1+x_2)/(2),\text{ }(y_(1+)y_2)/(2))

From the question;

x₁= -8 y₁=7 x₂ = 4 y₂=3

substituting the values into the formula;


(x_m,y_m)=((-8+4)/(2),\text{ }(7+3)/(2))

evaluate


(x_m,y_m)=((4)/(2)\text{ ,}(10)/(2))
(x_m,y_m)=(2,\text{ 5)}

The midpoint is (2, 5)
