Answer:

The midpoint is (-5,1.5)

Explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates of the endpoint and divide by 2

( -3+-7)/2 = -10/2 = -5

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinates of the endpoint and divide by 2

( -2+5)/2 = 3/2 = 1.5

The midpoint is (-5,1.5)
