Coordinates of mid point is color(purple)((5,-2)(5,2)

Explanation:

Let A and B the points and C the midpoint

A(2,-3), B(8,-1)A(2,3),B(8,1)

Coordinates of mid point C is given by

x = (x_1 + x_2)/2, y = (y_1 + y_2)/2x=x1+x22,y=y1+y22

C (x,y) = (2+8)/2, (-3 + (-1))/2C(x,y)=2+82,3+(1)2

C (x,y) = (5,-2)C(x,y)=(5,2)
