The midpoint is the average of the x and y values.
I'll do the first.
Repeat what I do for the second.
x%5Bm%5D=%283%2B5%29%2F2=8%2F2=4
y%5Bm%5D=%28-2-4%29%2F2=%28-6%29%2F2=-3
(4,-3)

Find the midpoint of the lines with the following and points:
(a) A(3,-2)B(5,-4)
It's the average of the x's and y's separately.
x: (3+5)/2 = 4
y: (-2-4)/2 = -3
--> (4,-3)
=====================
(b) C(6,-3)D(2,1)
Same as above.
