Answer:

The coordinates of point X are (-11/2, 5/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the coordinates of X , we shall apply the midpoint formula;

Mathematically, that would be;

(x , y) = (x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2

From the question

x1 = -3 , x2 = -8

y1 = 1 , y2 = 4

So substituting these values, we have;

(x ,y) = (-3-8)/2, (1 + 4)/2

(x ,y) = -11/2, 5/2
