(4,2)

Explanation:

you know why

Answer 2

(4,2)

Explanation:

`Midpoint =\left((x_2+x_1)/(2),\:\:(y_2+y_1)/(2)\right)\\\\\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(8,\:5\right),\:\\\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(0,\:-1\right)\\\\=\left((0+8)/(2),\:(-1+5)/(2)\right)\\\\= ((8)/(2) , (4)/(2) )\\\\Simplify\\=\left(4,\:2\right)`
