• Midpoint Formula: $(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Endpoint (-3, -6)

Endpoint (2, 1)

Step 2: Find Midpoint

1. Substitute [MF]:                    $(\frac{-3+2}{2},\frac{-6+1}{2})$
2. Add:                                      $(\frac{-1}{2},\frac{-5}{2})$
