$(1.7, - 3)$ , $(2, - 2.6)$

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

$(\frac{1.7 + 2}{2}, \frac{- 3 - 2.6}{2})$

Step 3

Add $1.7$ and $2$ .

$(\frac{3.7}{2}, \frac{- 3 - 2.6}{2})$

Step 4

Divide $3.7$ by $2$ .

$(1.85, \frac{- 3 - 2.6}{2})$

Step 5

Subtract $2.6$ from $- 3$ .

$(1.85, \frac{- 5.6}{2})$

Step 6

Divide $- 5.6$ by $2$ .

$(1.85, - 2.8)$
