Explanation:

The midpoint of a line segment between two points is given by


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

where ( x1 , y1) and ( x2 , y2) are the points

From the question

The midpoint of the line segment using points (-5,2) and (1, -3) is


M = ( ( - 5 + 1)/(2) , (2 - 3)/(2) )


M = ( - ( 4)/(2) , - (1)/(2) )

We have the final answer as


M = ( - 2, - (1)/(2) )

Hope this helps you
