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

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

$x = \frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2}, y = \frac{y_{1} + y_{2}}{2}$ $x = (x_1 + x_2)/2, y = (y_1 + y_2)/2$

$C (x, y) = \frac{2 + 8}{2}, \frac{- 3 + (- 1)}{2}$ $C (x,y) = (2+8)/2, (-3 + (-1))/2$

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