Midpoint Definition: The point where a line is perfectly split in half

Coordinates exist in the form of ( x, y )

Generally, you find the midpoint by adding up the two numbers and dividing the sum by 2.

In other words,

Midpoint = (
(x1+x2)/(2) , (y1+y2)/(2) )

You should get ( -22.5, 11 ) as your answer.
