Explanation
We are told to find the midpoint of the line segment. To do so, we will use the formula:
[tex]midpoint=\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}[/tex]In our case
[tex]\begin{gathered} x_1=8,y_1=7 \\ x_2=4,y_2=-5 \end{gathered}[/tex]Substituting the values above
[tex]\begin{gathered} Midpoint=\frac{8+4}{2},\frac{7-5}{2} \\ \\ Midpoint=\frac{12}{2},\frac{2}{2} \\ \\ Midpoint=(6,1) \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the midpoint is (6,1)
