$A = (3, 5)$ and $B = (5, 9)$

Step 1

Use the midpoint formula to find the midpoint of the line segment.

$(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2}}{2})$

Step 2

Substitute in the values for $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ and $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ .

$(\frac{3 + 5}{2}, \frac{5 + 9}{2})$

Step 3

Add $3$ and $5$ .

$(\frac{8}{2}, \frac{5 + 9}{2})$

Step 4

Divide $8$ by $2$ .

$(4, \frac{5 + 9}{2})$

Step 5

Add $5$ and $9$ .

$(4, \frac{14}{2})$

Step 6

Divide $14$ by $2$ .

$(4, 7)$
