Answer:

M=(11,−2)

Explanation:

Find the midpoint for
P = \left(6, -9\right)P=(6,-9) \text{and} Q = \left(16, 5\right)Q=(16,5).

The midpoint for two points P and Q is a point M whose coordinates is the half-sum of the corresponding coordinates of the two points.

Thus,
M = \left((6 + 16)/(2), (-9 + 5)/(2)\right) = \left(11, -2\right)

M=(11,−2)
