Answer:
(
,
)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a midpoint is as follows:

The x-coordinate:
x1 = 7, x2 = -8
7+(-8) = -1
Divide by 2 to get the x-midpoint
-1/2
The y-coordinate
y1 = -4, y2 = -5
-4 + (-5) = -9
Divide by 2 to get the y-midpoint
-9/2
You get:
(
,
)
This is a reduction because the scale factor is in between 0 and 1.

solve for "K", to see what "K" is, or the "constant of variation",
once you found K, plug it back in y=Kx, and that's the equation
