( -3,5 ) and ( 2,-7 )
+%28+x%5B1%5D+%2B+x%5B2%5D+%29+%2F+2+=+%28+2+-+3+%29+%2F+2+
+%28+x%5B1%5D+%2B+x%5B2%5D+%29+%2F+2+=+-1%2F2+
and
+%28+y%5B1%5D+%2B+y%5B2%5D+%29+%2F+2+=+%28+-7+%2B+5+%29+%2F+2+=+-2%2F2+
+%28+y%5B1%5D+%2B+y%5B2%5D+%29+%2F+2+=+-1+
The midpoint is at ( -1/2 , -1 )
check answer:
+-1%2F2+-%28-3%29+=+5%2F2+
+2+-%28-1%2F2%29+=+5%2F2+
and
+5+-%28-1%29+=+6+
+-1+-%28-7%29+=+6+
OK
