$(1, 2)$ , $(1, - 5)$

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

$(\frac{1 + 1}{2}, \frac{2 - 5}{2})$

Step 3

Add $1$ and $1$ .

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

Step 4

Divide $2$ by $2$ .

$(1, \frac{2 - 5}{2})$

Step 5

Subtract $5$ from $2$ .

$(1, \frac{- 3}{2})$

Step 6

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$(1, - \frac{3}{2})$
