p(0,3),q(-10,-13)
Use the midpoint formula to find the midpoint of the line segment.
((x1+x2)/(2) , (y1+y2)/(2))
Substitute in the values for (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).
((0-10)/(2),(3-13)/(2))
Combine all similar expressions.
((-10)/(2),(3-13)/(2))
Move the minus sign from the numerator to the front of the expression.
(-(10)/(2),(3-13)/(2))
Reduce the expression -(10)/(2) by removing a factor of 2 from the numerator and denominator.
(-5,(3-13)/(2))
Subtract 13 from 3 to get -10.
(-5,(-10)/(2))
Move the minus sign from the numerator to the front of the expression.
(-5,-(10)/(2))
Reduce the expression -(10)/(2) by removing a factor of 2 from the numerator and denominator.
(-5,-5)
