#(-2,-15)#

Explanation:

#"given the endpoints of a segment"#

#(x_1,y_1)" and "(x_2,y_2)" then the midpoint is found using"#

#"midpoint "=[1/2(x_1+x_2),1/2(y_1+y_2)]#

#"let "(x_1,y_1)=(13,-24)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(-17,-6)#

#"midpoint "=[1/2(13-17),1/2(-24-6)]#

#color(white)(xxxxxx)=[1/2(-4),1/2(-30)]=(-2,-15)#
