Solved by pluggable solver: To find midpoint of segment connecting two point
The Coordinates of mid point of a line segment joining two points can be calculated using following formulas.

X coordinate of mid point is

X%5Bmid%5D=+%28X+coordinate_of_first_point+%2B+X+coordinate_of_first_point%29%2F2


X%5Bmid%5D+=%285%2B-3%29%2F2


X%5Bmid%5D+=%285%2B-3%29%2F2=1


Y coordinate of mid point is

Y%5Bmid%5D=+%28Y+coordinate_of_first_point+%2B+Y+coordinate_of_first_point%29%2F2


Y%5Bmid%5D+=%287%2B9%29%2F2


Y%5Bmid%5D=%287%2B9%29%2F2=8

Hence, The mid point of segment joining two point (5,7) and (-3,9) is (1,8)
