[(x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2] [Use the midpoint formula]
[(6+1)/2, (-4+8)/2]
(7/2, 4/2] [Reduce wherever necessary]
(7/2, 2)

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment with the given endpoints.
A(6,-4), B(1,8)
The coordinates of the end point are the average of the coordinates of
the end points.
Mid-point is [(6+8)/2,(-4+8)/2] = (7,2)
