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)
