Midpoint formula. Add the x-coordinates and divide by 2 to get the mid-point x-coordinate. Add the y-coordinates and divide by 2 to get the mid-point y-coordinate.

Midpoint: (%28x%5B1%5D%2Bx%5B2%5D%29%2F2,%28y%5B1%5D%2By%5B2%5D%29%2F2)

%28-2%2B%28-8%29%29%2F2=-10%2F2=-5

%287%2B%28-5%29%29%2F2=2%2F2=1

Midpoint: (-5,1)
