Explanation:
Given the coordinate points
#(x_1,y_1)" and " (x_2,y_2)# then the coordinates of the midpoint#(x_m,y_m)# are found as follows.
#x_m=1/2(x_1+x_2)" the average of the x-coordinates"# and
#y_m=1/2(y_1+y_2)" the average of the y-coordinates"# here
# (x_1,y_1)=(-1,2)" and " (x_2,y_2)=(1,-3)#
#rArrx_m=1/2(-1+1)=0# and
# y_m=1/2(2-3)=-1/2# Hence coordinates of midpoint
#=(0,-1/2)#
