$(6.85, 3.3)$ $(6.85,3.3)$

Explanation:

For this, we will use the midpoint formula: $M = (\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2}}{2})$ $M = ((x_1+x_2)/2,(y_1+y_2)/2)$ , which basically involves finding the middle of the x coordinates, and the middle of the y coordinates.
- $x_{1}$ $x_1$ and $y_{1}$ $y_1$ are the coordinates of the first point $(5.6, - 2.8)$ $(5.6,-2.8)$
- $x_{2}$ $x_2$ and $y_{2}$ $y_2$ are the coordinates of the second point $(8.1, 9.4)$ $(8.1,9.4)$
- It doesn't matter which one we call the first or second point

Applying the formula:
$M = (\frac{5.6 + 8.1}{2}, \frac{- 2.8 + 9.4}{2})$ $M = ((5.6+8.1)/2,(-2.8+9.4)/2)$
$= (\frac{13.7}{2}, \frac{6.6}{2})$ $= ((13.7)/2,(6.6)/2)$
$= (6.85, 3.3)$ $=(6.85,3.3)$
