Answer:

Midpoint of the line segment = ( 0.5 ,-3.5) =

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the co-ordinates of two points are

(-2 , -5) and ( 3, -2)

Let    (x₁ , y₁) = ( -2 , -5)

        (x₂ , y₂) = ( 3 , -2 )

Midpoint of the line segment

                          =       [tex](\frac{x_{1} +y_{1} }{2}, \frac{x_{2}+ y_{2} }{2} )[/tex]

Midpoint of the line segment

                          =       [tex](\frac{-2 +3 }{2}, \frac{-5- 2 }{2} )[/tex]

Midpoint of the line segment = ( 0.5 ,-3.5)
