$(2, 3)$ , $(- 3, 7)$

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

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

Step 3

Subtract $3$ from $2$ .

$(\frac{- 1}{2}, \frac{3 + 7}{2})$

Step 4

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$(- \frac{1}{2}, \frac{3 + 7}{2})$

Step 5

Add $3$ and $7$ .

$(- \frac{1}{2}, \frac{10}{2})$

Step 6

Divide $10$ by $2$ .

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