The mid-point of a line is found by averaging the coordinates of the line start & stop points.
For your question, the mid point is {(-3+2)/2 , (6+5)/2}
=(-1/2, 11/2)
It's important to keep the addition of numbers in order.
If you start by adding the x value of the second coordinate pair to the first, as I did, you MUST do the same for the y terms.
That's all there is to it

The midpoint of the line is going to be the midpoints of x and y separately.

The average of -3 and 2 is -0.5 and the average of 6 and 5 is
5.5. (-0.5,5.5) is the midpoint.

{x, y}={(x_1+x_2)/2, (y_1+y_2)/2}

= (-3+2/2, 6+5/2)
= (-1/2, 11/2)
