Answer: The midpoint is (5,5.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding X1 And X2 equals 10. Then the x variables have to be divided which is 10 divided 2 equals 5, the 5 represents the x value of the x part of midpoint. (5,?)

Adding Y1 and Y2 equals 11. Then the y variables have to be divided by 2 which is 11 divided by 2 equals 5.5, the 5.5 represents the y value of the midpoint. (?,5.5)

The final answer is Midpoint = (5,5.5)
