Use midpoint formula: (x+x/2, y+y/2)
Substitue: (-4+7, 2-2/2)
Add: (3/2, 0/2)
Answer: (3/2, 0) or (1.5, 0)

To find midpoint we use midpoint formula


((x_1+x_2))/(2) , ((y_1+y_2))/(2)

Here (x1,y1) is (7,-2) and (x2,y2) is (-4,2)


((7+(-4)))/(2) , ((-2+2))/(2)


(3)/(2) , (0)/(2)

Midpoint is
(3)/(2) , 0
