Answer

Solving the fractions, we get \((\frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{2})\).

Steps

Step 1 :The formula for the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is \((\frac{x1 + x2}{2}, \frac{y1 + y2}{2})\).

Step 2 :Substituting the given coordinates into the formula, we get \((\frac{-3 + 4}{2}, \frac{5 + -2}{2})\).

Step 3 :Solving the fractions, we get \((\frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{2})\).
