• Midpoint Formula:
  `((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2))`

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-9, -5)

Point (-1, -9)

Step 2: Find Midpoint

Simply plug in your coordinates into the midpoint formula to find midpoint

1. Substitute [MF]:
   `((-9-1)/(2),(-5-9)/(2))`
2. Subtract:
   `((-10)/(2),(-14)/(2))`
3. Divide:
   `(-5,-7)`
