~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{7}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{6}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ 7 -5}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 6 -4}{2} \right) \implies \left(\cfrac{ 2 }{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 2 }{2} \right)\implies (1~~,~~1)
