Answer: ( 6 , 9)

Explanation:

The coordinate of the mid -point is calculated by the formula:

Mid-point = (
(x_(1)+x_(2))/(2) ,
(y_(1)+y_(2))/(2) )

x_(1) = 5

x_(2) = 7

y_(1) = 13

y_(2) = 5

Substituting these values into the formula , we have :

Mid - point = (
(7+5)/(2) ,
(5+13)/(2)

Mid -point = (
(12)/(2) ,
(18)/(2)

Mid - point = ( 6 , 9 )
