The midpoint between point 1 and point 2 is (1, 3/2)
Point 1: (4, -2)
Point 2: (-2, 5)
The formula for the midpoint of the line segment is: ((x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2)
x1 = the x-coordinate of point 1, so x1 = 4
x2 = x-coordinate of point 2, so x2 = -2
y1 = y-coordinate of point 1, so y1 = -2
y2 = y-coordinate of point 2, so y2 = 5
Plug these into the equation:
Midpoint: ((x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2)
= ((4 + -2)/2 , (-2 + 5)/2)
= ((2/2) , (3/2))
= (1, 3/2)
There's your midpoint! The point is (1, 3/2)

-
(4-2)/2 = 1
(5-2)/2 = 3/2
Midpoint = (1,3/2)
(5-2)/2 = 3/2
Midpoint = (1,3/2)
