Step-by-step explanation:
use the midpoint formula
[tex]( \frac{xs + xt}{2} \: \: \frac{ys + yt}{2} )[/tex]
substitute into the midpoint formula
[tex]( \frac{ - 8 + 2}{2} \: \: \frac{3 + ( - 1)}{2} )[/tex]
solve the above
(
[tex](3 \: \: 1)[/tex]
so the x coordinate if your midpoint is 3
the y coordinate of your midpoint is 1
(3;1)
