Answer:

Explanation:

First, we will find the midpoint for the x - coordinate first.

Midpoint (x) =
(-1+(-6))/(2) \\=(-1-6)/(2) \\=(-7)/(2) \\=-3.5

Now we will find the midpoint for the y - coordinate.

Midpoint (y) =
(-6+5)/(2) \\=(-1)/(2) \\=-0.5

Therefore from these 2 values we know that the midpoint of this 2 points is (-3.5,-0.5)
