$(- 2, 9)$ , $(7, 27)$

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

$(\frac{- 2 + 7}{2}, \frac{9 + 27}{2})$

Step 3

Add $- 2$ and $7$ .

$(\frac{5}{2}, \frac{9 + 27}{2})$

Step 4

Add $9$ and $27$ .

$(\frac{5}{2}, \frac{36}{2})$

Step 5

Divide $36$ by $2$ .

$(\frac{5}{2}, 18)$
