Answer:

$\boxed {(-1, 5)}$

Explanation:

Use the Midpoint Point Formula to determine the midpoint of two given points:

((x_(1) + x_(2))/(2), (y_(1) + y_(2))/(2))

First point:
(x_(1), y_(1))

Second point:
(x_(2), y_(2))

-Substitute the given points:

First point:
(-3, 8)

Second point:
(1, 2)

((-3 + 1)/(2), (2 + 8)/(2))

-Solve the equation:

((-3 + 1)/(2), (2 + 8)/(2))

((-2)/(2), (10)/(2))

$\boxed {(-1, 5)}$

Thus, the midpoint is
(-1, 5) .
