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

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point P(-3, 5)

Point Q(1, 9)

Step 2: Find Midpoint

Simply plug in your coordinates into the midpoint formula to find midpoint

1. Substitute {MF]:                    $(\frac{-3+1}{2},\frac{5+9}{2})$
2. Add:                                      $(\frac{-2}{2},\frac{14}{2})$
3. Divide:                                  $(-1,7)$
