The x-value of the midpoint is:
+%28+x%5Bq%5D+%2B+x%5Br%5D+%29+%2F+2+=+%28+-.4+%2B+3.5+%29+%2F+2+
+%28+-.4+%2B+3.5+%29+%2F+2+=+3.1%2F2+
---------------------------------
The y-value of the midpoint is:
+%28+y%5Bq%5D+%2B+y%5Br%5D+%29+%2F+2+=+%28+2.5+%2B+1.5+%29+%2F+2+
+%28+2.5+%2B+1.5+%29+%2F+2+=+2+
-------------------------------
The midpoint is:
+M%28+1.55%2C+2+%29+
