Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

( [tex]x_{1}[/tex] , [tex]y_{1}[/tex] ) and ( [tex]x_{2}[/tex] , [tex]y_{2}[/tex] )

midpoint is ( [tex]\frac{x_{1} +x_{2} }{2}[/tex] , [tex]\frac{y_{1} +y_{2} }{2}[/tex] )

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

( p , p + q )

( p + 4 , 3q + 6 )

( p + p + 4 ) ÷ 2 = - 2

p = - 4

( - 4 + q + 3q + 6 ) ÷ 2 = 5

2q = 4

q = 2
