Solved by pluggable solver: Find the Midpoint
Let C=the midpoint
x-coordinate+of+C=%28%28x-coordinate+of+A%29%2B%28x-coordinate+of+B%29%29%2F%282%29
x-coordinate+of+C=%282+%2B+-4%29%2F%282%29
x-coordinate+of+C=-2%2F2
x-coordinate+of+C=-1
y-coordinate+of+C=%28%28y-coordinate+of+A%29%2B%28y-coordinate+of+B%29%29%2F%282%29
y-coordinate+of+C=%28-3+%2B+6%29%2F%282%29
y-coordinate+of+C=3%2F2
y-coordinate+of+C=1.5
Therefore,
The midpoint C is located at (-1,1.5)
