Show correct answer & step-by-step solution

Correct answer: B — $(2, 4)$

Solution

$The midpoint formula is (\frac{x _{1} + x _{2}}{2}, \frac{y _{1} + y _{2}}{2}) .$
$Substitute the points: (\frac{0 + 4}{2}, \frac{0 + 8}{2}) .$
$Calculate the values: (\frac{4}{2}, \frac{8}{2}) = (2, 4) .$
$Hence the answer is (B).$
