To find the midpoint of two points, we use the midpoint formula where M = (x1+x2/2, y1+y2/2).

If we plug in the respective values into this formula, we get:

(-3+5/2, 4+-2/2)

When we simplify the addition and subtraction in the numerators, we get:

(2/2, 2/2)

After dividing each respective part of the ordered pair, we get:

(1, 1)

Therefore, the midpoint is (1, 1).

Hope this helps!
