Average each corresponding coordinate.

So add the x coordinates to get: 2+(-5) = 2-5 = -3

Then divide by 2 to get

So the x coordinate of the midpoint is

------------------------------------------------------
The y coordinate is found the same way: add the y coordinates, then divide by 2

3+6 = 9

So the y coordinate of the midpoint is

=======================================================
Answer:
So the midpoint is $\left(-\frac{3}{2},\frac{9}{2}\right)$
