Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The midpoint of a line segment with endpoints $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is given by $\left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right)$. For the given endpoints $(-6, -3)$ and $(-8, 4)$, the midpoint is $\left( \frac{-6 - 8}{2}, \frac{-3 + 4}{2} \right) = \left( -7, \frac{1}{2} \right)$.
