• Midpoint Formula:
  `((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2))`

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point P(-3, 5)

Point Q(1, 9)

Step 2: Find Midpoint

Simply plug in your coordinates into the midpoint formula to find midpoint

1. Substitute {MF]:
   `((-3+1)/(2),(5+9)/(2))`
2. Add:
   `((-2)/(2),(14)/(2))`
3. Divide:
   `(-1,7)`
