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

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

$(\frac{5 - 3}{2}, \frac{- 7 - 9}{2})$

Subtract $3$ from $5$ .

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

Divide $2$ by $2$ .

$(1, \frac{- 7 - 9}{2})$

Subtract $9$ from $- 7$ .

$(1, \frac{- 16}{2})$

Divide $- 16$ by $2$ .

$(1, - 8)$
