$(- 3, 4)$ , $(- 6, - 1)$

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

$(\frac{- 3 - 6}{2}, \frac{4 - 1}{2})$

Step 3

Subtract $6$ from $- 3$ .

$(\frac{- 9}{2}, \frac{4 - 1}{2})$

Step 4

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$(- \frac{9}{2}, \frac{4 - 1}{2})$

Step 5

Subtract $1$ from $4$ .

$(- \frac{9}{2}, \frac{3}{2})$
