A line segment with end points has a midpoint which is in the middle of it.
A line is infinite but a line segment has end points and a midpoint
A line segment is defined as having endpoints with the midpoint of the line at its centre
If you mean points of (-1, 7) and (-3, 3) then the midpoint is at (-2, 5)
At the end of the line there needs to be two points. Measure the line and divide by two.

The point that is equal distance from the endpoints of a line segment is the midpoint.
If you mean points of (-1, 7) and (-3, 3) then the midpoint is at (-2, 5)

It is always because a straight line segment will have a midpoint as well as its end points.
Take a compass, extend it about 3/4 of the length of the segment. Then from one end of the segment, draw a 180 degree arc. From the other end draw another arc. Connect the points where the arcs intersect. Where the line intersects with the segment is the midpoint of the segment. That is how you bisect a segment to find the midpoint - geometrically.
If the end points of the line segment are at (3, 5) and (2, 2) then the midpoint is at (2.5, 3.5)
If you mean end points of (3.2, 2.5) and (1.6, -4.5) then the midpoint is (2.4, -1)
No no no! A line segment, on the other hand, does: it is the point equidistant from each end of the segment.
