Step 1
Call the midpoint ( x , y )
x = - 3 + 4 2 = 1 2
y = 5 + ( - 2 ) 2 = 3 2
Therefore midpoint is ( 1 2 , 3 2 )

Step 1
Mid point is 1 2 way between given points
Using mean values
P 1 ( x 1 , y 1 ) ( - 3 , 5 )
P 2 ( x 2 , y 2 ) ( 4 , - 2 )
So x mid x 1 + x 2 2 = - 3 + 4 2 = + 1 2
So y mid y 1 + y 2 2 = 5 - 2 2 = + 3 2
P mid ( x , y ) = ( 1 2 , 3 2 )
