Step 1
D ( - 3 , - 8 ) , E ( 1 , - 2 )
The mid-point of a line segment divides the line segment in the ratio 1 : 1
Therefore,
the coordinates of the mid-point P of the join of the points A ( x 1 ,   y 1 ) and B ( x 2 ,   y 2 ) is
From section formula
( 1 × x 2 + 1 × x 1 1 + 1 ,   1 × y 2 + 1 × y 1 1 + 1 ) ( x 2 + x 1 2 ,   y 2 + y 1 2 )
Midpoint coordinates
M ( x , y ) = - 3 + 1 2 , - 8 - 2 2 ( 1 , - 5 )
