Hello!

The answer is:

The coordinates of the midpoint are:

$x-coordinate=0.5\\y-coordinate=2.5$

We can find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints using the following formula.

The midpoint of a segment is given by:

MidPoint=((x_(1)+x_(2))/(2),(y_(1)+y_(2))/(2))

We are given the points:

$(3,5)\\$

and

$(-2,0)\\$

Where,

$x_(1)=3\\y_(1)=5\\x_(2)=-2\\y_(2)=0$

So, calculating the midpoint, we have:

MidPoint=((3+(-2))/(2),(5+0)/(2))

MidPoint=((1)/(2),(5)/(2))

MidPoint=(0.5,2.5)

Hence, we have that the coordinates of the midpoint are:

$x-coordinate=0.5\\y-coordinate=2.5$

Have a nice day!
