Mid point#->(x,y)=(1,-2)#

The mid point is the mean values

#x_("mid")-> (-3+5)/2=1#

#y_("mid")->(-2-2)/2=-2#

Mid point#->(x,y)=(1,-2)#

The mid point is #=(1,-2)#

If you have 2 points #(x_1,y_1)# and #(x_2, y_2)#

The mid point is

#=((x_1+x_2)/2,(y_1+y_2)/2)#

Here, we have

#A=(-3,-2)# and #B=(5,-2)#

The mid point of #AB# is

#=((-3+5)/2,(-2-2)/2)#

#=(1,-2)#
