The formula for the midpoint is as follows:
[tex]\mleft(\cfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\cfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\mright)[/tex]
Let:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(-5,6) \\ (x_2,y_2)=(7,0) \end{gathered}[/tex]
Substitute the coordinates into the formula and then simplify.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \mleft(\cfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\cfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\mright)=\mleft(\cfrac{-5+7}{2},\cfrac{6+0}{2}\mright) \\ =\mleft(\cfrac{2}{2},\cfrac{6}{2}\mright) \\ =(1,3) \end{gathered}[/tex]
