#(13/2,5/2)#

Explanation:

#"given the coordinates of two points"#

#P(x_1,y_1)" and "Q(x_2,y_2)#

#"then the coordinates of the midpoint (M) is the average"#
#"of the coordinates of the endpoints"#

#•color(white)(x)M=[1/2(x_1+x_2),1/2(y_1+y_2)]#

#"here "(x_1,y_1)=(8,3)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(5,2)#

#rArrM=[1/2(8+5),1/2(3+2)]=(13/2,5/2)#
