3%2B-6=-3 First add the x-coordinates together to get -3


%28-3%29%2F2=-3%2F2 Divide that result by 2


So the x-coordinate of the midpoint is x=-3%2F2


5%2B11=16 Now add the y-coordinates together to get 16


%2816%29%2F2=8 Divide that result by 2


So the y-coordinate of the midpoint is y=8


So the midpoint between the points and is
