Question

1. $(-4,-8)$ $(10,-6)$

$\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}$, $\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify given coordinates

$(x_1, y_1) = (-4, -8)$, $(x_2, y_2) = (10, -6)$

Step2: Calculate x-coordinate of midpoint

$\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2} = \frac{-4 + 10}{2} = \frac{6}{2} = 3$

Step3: Calculate y-coordinate of midpoint

$\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} = \frac{-8 + (-6)}{2} = \frac{-14}{2} = -7$

Answer:

$(3, -7)$
