Consider that the coordinates of the mid-point of a line segment is given by the formula,

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} \\ y=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The given diagram represents the line segment between the points (-3,4) and (-6,-1).

So the corresponding mid-point is given by,

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-3+(-6)}{2}=\frac{-9}{2} \\ y=\frac{4+(-1)}{2}=\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the mid-point of the given line segment is ( -9/2 , 3/2 ) .
