Midpoint of the line segment joining $A (8, 11)$ $A(8,11)$ and $B (- 5, 2)$ $B(-5,2)$ is $(\frac{3}{2}, \frac{13}{2})$ $(3/2,13/2)$ .

Explanation:

Midpoint of the line segment joining $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ $(x_2,y_2)$ is given by $(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2}}{2})$ $((x_1+x_2)/2,(y_1+y_2)/2)$ .

Hence, midpoint of the line segment joining $A (8, 11)$ $A(8,11)$ and $B (- 5, 2)$ $B(-5,2)$ is

$(\frac{8 + (- 5)}{2}, \frac{11 + 2}{2})$ $((8+(-5))/2,(11+2)/2)$ or

$(\frac{3}{2}, \frac{13}{2})$ $(3/2,13/2)$
