Answer:

(-7, -3)

Explanation:

The midpoint formula is (
(x_(1) + x_(2))/(2),
(y_(1) + y_(2))/(2)), so all you need to do is plug in the information. If we set A as the first set, and B as the second set, it simplifies things by making everything more organized.

= ((-8 - 6)/2), ((-10 +4)/2)

= (-14/2, -6/2)

= (-7, -3)

I hope this helps!
