$(5, 11)$ and $(9, 5)$

Step 1

Use the midpoint formula to find the midpoint of the line segment.

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

Step 2

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

$(\frac{5 + 9}{2}, \frac{11 + 5}{2})$

Step 3

Add $5$ and $9$ .

$(\frac{14}{2}, \frac{11 + 5}{2})$

Step 4

Divide $14$ by $2$ .

$(7, \frac{11 + 5}{2})$

Step 5

Add $11$ and $5$ .

$(7, \frac{16}{2})$

Step 6

Divide $16$ by $2$ .

$(7, 8)$
