Answer is (4,3)

=============================

Add up the x coordinates to get 9+(-1) = 8. Divide this over two and we end up with 8/2 = 4

Repeat for the y coordinates: 9+(-3) = 6, which cuts in half to get 6/2 = 3

The midpoint is at (4,3)

-------

The midpoint formula is


\left((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2)\right) where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the endpoints.
