$(-2, 1)$

The coordinates of midpoint of line having end points

$A(2, -6)\equiv(x_1, y_1)$ & $B(-6, 8)\equiv(x_2, y_2)$ are given as

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

$\equiv(\frac{2-6}{2}, \frac{-6+8}{2})$

$\equiv(-2, 1)$

Point A is located at (2, -6)(2, -6), and D is located at (-6, 8)#. What are the coordinates of the point that lies halfway between A and D?
