For this case, we have to give two points of the form:


(x_ {1}, y_ {1}) and (x_ {2}, y_ {2}})

The formula of the midpoint is given by:


(\frac {x_ {1} + x {2}} {2}, \frac {y_ {1} + y_ {2}} {2})

So, be:

(10,3) and (-2, -5)

Substituting in the formula we have:


(\frac {10 + (- 2)} {2}, \frac {3 + (- 5)} {2}) =\\(\frac {10-2} {2}, \frac {3-5} {2}) =

Different signs are subtracted and the greater sign is placed:


(\frac {8} {2}, \frac {-2} {2}) =

(4, -1)

Thus, the midpoint is (4, -1)

Answer:

(4, -1)
