Thank you for pointing that out! Let's correct the calculation with the updated coordinates.

The correct points given are $A(-2, 3)$ and $B(4, 8)$.

Using the midpoint formula again:

$\text{Midpoint} = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right)$

Substituting the correct values:

$\text{Midpoint} = \left( \frac{-2 + 4}{2}, \frac{3 + 8}{2} \right)$

$\text{Midpoint} = \left( \frac{2}{2}, \frac{11}{2} \right)$

$\text{Midpoint} = (1, 5.5)$

So, the correct midpoint between points $A(-2, 3)$ and $B(4, 8)$ is $(1, 5.5)$.
