Formula : 0.5 Mark
Application : 0.5 Mark

The midpoint of the line segment joining the points $A (x_{1}, y_{1})$ $B (x_{2}, y_{2})$ is ,

$P (x, y) = (\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2}), (\frac{y_{1} + y_{2}}{2})$

$\Rightarrow P (x, y) = (\frac{- 2 - 6}{2}), (\frac{8 - 4}{2})$

$\Rightarrow P (x, y) = (- 4, 2)$
