Step-by-step explanation:
The midpoint of a line segment between two points is given by
[tex]M = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )[/tex]
where ( x1 , y1) and ( x2 , y2) are the points
From the question
The midpoint of the line segment using points (-5,2) and (1, -3) is
[tex]M = ( \frac{ - 5 + 1}{2} , \frac{2 - 3}{2} )[/tex]
[tex]M = ( - \frac{ 4}{2} , - \frac{1}{2} )[/tex]
We have the final answer as
[tex]M = ( - 2, - \frac{1}{2} )[/tex]
Hope this helps you
