Step 1
The formula to find the mid-point of a line segment give the two end points is:
M = ( x 1 + x 2 2 , y 1 + y 2 2 )
Where M is the midpoint and the given points are:
( x 1 y 1 ) and ( x 2 y 2 )
Substituting the values from the points in the problem and calculating M gives:
M = ( 5 + - 3 2 , - 1 2 + 5 2 2 ) = ( 2 2 , 4 2 2 ) = ( 1 , 2 2 ) = ( 1 , 1 )
