You can find it out using the mid point formula, which is given by:

#M(x,y)=((x_1+x_2)/2,(y_1+y_2)/2)#
where:
#(x,y)# are coordinates of the midpoint,
#x_1 and x_2 # are the #x#-coordinates of the given points,
and #y_1 and y_2# are their respective #y#-coordinates.

Substituting the given values in the formula:
#M(x,y)=((1.8+(-0.4))/2,(-3.4+1.4)/2)#
#M(x,y)=((1.4)/2,-2/2)#
#M(x,y)=(0.7,-1)#
