Use the midpoint formula,
x%5Bm%5D=%28x%5BP%5D%2Bx%5BQ%5D%29%2F2=%286-3%29%2F2
y%5Bm%5D=%28y%5BP%5D%2By%5BQ%5D%29%2F2=%28-3%2B2%29%2F2

Hi,         

Midpoint is ( %28x%5B1%5D+%2B+x%5B2%5D%29%2F2, %28y%5B1%5D+%2B+y%5B2%5D%29%2F2

 P(6, -3); Q(-3,2)

   [6 + (-3)]/2 = 3/2 and [-3 + 2]/2 = -1/2  

 Midpoint is (1.5,-.5)
