M = (-2.5 , -10)

Explanation:

The midpoint of a line created by the coordinates of the endpoints of the line can be determined using the formula

M= ((x_1+x_2)/2 , (y_1+y_2)/2)

For the coordinates (-2,-8) and (-3,-12)

x_1 = -2
x_2 = -3
y_1 = -8
y_2 = -12

((-2+(-3))/2 , (-8+(-12))/2)
(-5/2 , -20/2)
M = (-2.5 , -10)
