~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ A(\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad B(\stackrel{x_2}{9}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{7}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ 9 + 4}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 7 -1}{2} \right)\implies \left(\cfrac{13}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{6}{2} \right)\implies \left( 6(1)/(2)~~,~~3 \right)
