Answer:

The answer is


( - (1)/(2) \: , \: (13)/(2)) \\

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

Q(2,4) and R(-3,9)

The midpoint is


M = ( (2 - 3)/(2) \: , \: (9 + 4)/(2) ) \\

We have the final answer as


( - (1)/(2) \: , \: (13)/(2)) \\

Hope this helps you
