Write your answer to problems 3 and 4 as ordered pairs (x, y).
3. Find the midpoint between the points (3, 1) and (1, 5).
4. Find the midpoint between the points (5, 2) and (-1, -2).
---------------
The x-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the x-coordinates
of the end points.
The y-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the y-coordiinates
of the end points.

Example:
midpoint for you 1st problem: [(3+1)/2 , (1+5)/2] = (2,3)
