Step 1
The equation to find the mid-point of a line segment give the two end points is:
M = ( x 1 + x 2 2 , y 1 + y 2 2 )
Where M is the midpoint and the given points are:
x 1 y 1 and x 2 y 2
Substituting the two points we are given in this problem gives:
M = ( 4 + - 2 2 , - 2 + 5 2 )
M = ( 2 2 , 3 2 )
M = ( 1 , 3 2 )
