Find the Midpoint (5,-6) , (2,-3)

$(5, - 6)$ , $(2, - 3)$

Step 1

Use the midpoint formula to find the midpoint of the line segment.

$(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2}}{2})$

Step 2

Substitute in the values for $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ and $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ .

$(\frac{5 + 2}{2}, \frac{- 6 - 3}{2})$

Step 3

Add $5$ and $2$ .

$(\frac{7}{2}, \frac{- 6 - 3}{2})$

Step 4

Subtract $3$ from $- 6$ .

$(\frac{7}{2}, \frac{- 9}{2})$

Step 5

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$(\frac{7}{2}, - \frac{9}{2})$
