$(- 4, - 3)$ , $(7, - 5)$

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

$(\frac{- 4 + 7}{2}, \frac{- 3 - 5}{2})$

Step 3

Add $- 4$ and $7$ .

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

Step 4

Subtract $5$ from $- 3$ .

$(\frac{3}{2}, \frac{- 8}{2})$

Step 5

Divide $- 8$ by $2$ .

$(\frac{3}{2}, - 4)$
