The x coordinates of points S and T are -5 and 3 respectively. They add to . Then we cut that result in half to get . This is the x coordinate of point P.

We repeat the same steps for the y coordinates as well. The y coordinates are 7 and 9 which add to and then that divides over 2 to get , which is the y coordinate of point P.

Answer: The midpoint is P = (-1, 8)
