\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ M(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad N(\stackrel{x_2}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2}) \qquad % coordinates of midpoint \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left( \cfrac{-3-2}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{2+1}{2} \right)\implies \left(-(5)/(2)~,~(3)/(2) \right)
