(2, - 2)

$(2, - 2)$ ,

(3, - 3)

$(3, - 3)$

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})

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

Step 2

Substitute in the values for

(x_{1}, y_{1})

$(x_{1}, y_{1})$ and

(x_{2}, y_{2})

$(x_{2}, y_{2})$ .

(\frac{2 + 3}{2}, \frac{- 2 - 3}{2})

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

Step 3

Add

2

$2$ and

3

$3$ .

(\frac{5}{2}, \frac{- 2 - 3}{2})

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

Step 4

Subtract

3

$3$ from

- 2

$- 2$ .

(\frac{5}{2}, \frac{- 5}{2})

$(\frac{5}{2}, \frac{- 5}{2})$

Step 5

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

(\frac{5}{2}, - \frac{5}{2})

$(\frac{5}{2}, - \frac{5}{2})$
