The x coordinates are 3 and -5. They add to 3+(-5) = -2

Cut this in half to get -2/2 = -1

The x coordinate of the midpoint is x = -1

-------------------

The y coordinates are 2 and 5. They add to 2+5 = 7.

Then we cut this in half to get 7/2 = 3.5

The y coordinate of the midpoint is y = 3.5

-------------------

Overall, the midpoint is (-1, 3.5)

Answer: (-1, 3.5) which is the same as (-1, 7/2)
