The midpoint $= (4, 3)$ $= (4 , 3)$

C $(0, 0) = x_{1}, y_{1}$ $(0,0) = color(blue)(x_1,y_1$
D $(8, 6) = x_{2}, y_{2}$ $(8,6) = color(blue)(x_2,y_2$

Midpoint is calculated using formula: $(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2}}{2})$ $color(blue)(((x_1+x_2)/2 , (y_1+y_2)/2)$

$= (\frac{0 + 8}{2}, \frac{0 + 6}{2})$ $=( (0+8)/2 , (0+6)/2)$

$= (\frac{8}{2}, \frac{6}{2})$ $= ((8)/2 , (6)/2)$

The midpoint $= (4, 3)$ $= (4 , 3)$

$= (\frac{8}{2}, \frac{6}{2})$ $= ((8)/2 , (6)/2)$

The midpoint $= (4, 3)$ $= (4 , 3)$
