Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The midpoint of a line segment is found by averaging the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates of the endpoints. For the given points $\left( - \frac { 7 } { 2 } , - \frac { 5 } { 2 } \right)$ and $\left( - \frac { 5 } { 2 } , \frac { 3 } { 2 } \right)$, the midpoint is $\left( \frac{-\frac{7}{2} - \frac{5}{2}}{2}, \frac{-\frac{5}{2} + \frac{3}{2}}{2} \right) = \left( -3, -\frac{1}{2} \right)$.
