~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-7}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-5}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ 0 -7}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ -5 +4}{2} \right) \implies \left(\cfrac{ -7 }{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ -1 }{2} \right)\implies \left( -3(1)/(2)~~,~-(1)/(2) \right)
