Step 1. Given information.

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points P₁ and P₂ .

$P_{1} = (- 4, - 3); P_{2} = (2, 2)$

Step 2. Midpoint Formula.

The midpoint $M = (x, y)$ of the line segment from $P_{1} = (x_{1}, y_{1}) to P_{2} = (x_{2}, y_{2})$ is

$M = (x, y) = (\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{2} + y_{1}}{2})$

Step 3. Apply the midpoint formula.

The coordinates (x, y) of the midpoint M are

$x = \frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2} = \frac{- 4 + 2}{2} = - 1 and y = \frac{y_{1} + y_{2}}{2} = \frac{- 3 + 2}{2} = - \frac{1}{2}$

So, Midpoint $M = (x, y) = (- 1, - \frac{1}{2})$

Step 4. Conclusion.

The midpoint of the line segment is $(- 1, - \frac{1}{2})$ .
