Answer:

The answer is

Explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

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

where

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

From the question the points are

(3,-3) and (-7,14)

The midpoint is

$M = ( (3 - 7)/(2) \: , \: ( - 3 + 14)/(2) ) \\ = ( - (4)/(2) \: , \: (11)/(2) )$

We have the final answer as

$( - 2 \: , \: (11)/(2) )$

Hope this helps you
