Answer 1

Hi there! :)

Answer:

`\huge\boxed{(-1, -10.5)}`

Use the midpoint formula to solve for the midpoint:

`(x_(m), y_(m)) = ((x_(1)+x_(2) )/(2) , (y_(1)+y_(2))/(2))`

Plug in the points:

`(x_(m), y_(m)) = ((-5+3 )/(2) , (-13 -8)/(2))`

Simplify:

`(x_(m), y_(m)) = ((-2 )/(2) , (-21)/(2))`

`(x_(m), y_(m)) = (-1 , -10.5)`
