\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points }\\ \quad \\ \begin{array}{ccccccccc} &&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\ % (a,b) &&(~{{ -4}} &,&{{ -14}}~) % (c,d) &&(~{{ -22}} &,&{{ 9}}~) \end{array}\qquad % coordinates of midpoint \left(\cfrac{{{ x_2}} + {{ x_1}}}{2}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{{{ y_2}} + {{ y_1}}}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left( \cfrac{-22-4}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{9-14}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{-26}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{-5}{2} \right)\implies \left(-13~~,~~-2(1)/(2) \right)
