Answer
The coordinates of the midpoint of $\overline{AB}$ are $(1, 1)$.
Work Step by Step
The midpoint of $\overline{AB}$ can be found using the following formula:
$M = (\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$
The points we are given are $(7, 10)$ and $(-5, -8)$. Let's plug these points into the formula:
$M = (\frac{7 + (-5)}{2}, \frac{10 + (-8)}{2})$
Use addition to simplify:
$M = (\frac{2}{2}, \frac{2}{2})$
Simplify the fractions:
$M = (1, 1)$
The coordinates of the midpoint of $\overline{AB}$ are $(1, 1)$.
