Explanation:

Step1: Recall mid - point formula

The mid - point formula for two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$.

Step2: Identify the values of $x_1,x_2,y_1,y_2$

Here $x_1 = 9,x_2 = 5,y_1 = 10,y_2 = 3$.

Step3: Calculate the x - coordinate of the mid - point

$\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}=\frac{9 + 5}{2}=\frac{14}{2}=7$.

Step4: Calculate the y - coordinate of the mid - point

$\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}=\frac{10 + 3}{2}=\frac{13}{2}$.

Answer:

$(7,\frac{13}{2})$
