Explanation:

(5,2) & (10,-3)

the slope of the points are

y2 - y1 / x2- x1

-3-2/10-5

-5/5

-1

the mid point of the given points are

x= x1 + x2/2 , y= y1 +y2 /2

.

.

.

.

( , )

the equation of the line that passes through the given points are as

y+ y1 = m (x+ x1)

:. now put the value of the mid point in y1 and x1 and the value of slope in m

also find the mid point, it's hard to do it in a mobile without calculator and paper and pen

sorry
