Answer:

((1)/(2), (1)/(2))

Explanation:

Since, the coordinates of the midpoint of a line segment having the endpoints
(x_1,y_1) and
(x_2, y_2) are,

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

Here,

x_1=-2, y_1=2, x_2 = 3, y_2=-1

Hence, the coordinates of the midpoint of segment AB are,

((-2+3)/(2),(2-1)/(2))

((1)/(2), (1)/(2))
