midpoint between two points, you can use the midpoint formula:

m = (x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2

Where m is the midpoint, and (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.

In this case, the coordinates of point e are unknown, but we are given the coordinates of points a and c. To find the coordinates of point e, we can use the midpoint formula with a and c as the two points. Plugging in the coordinates of a and c, we get:

e = ((-3a + (-a))/2, (b + (-5b))/2)

Simplifying, we get:

e = (-2a/2, -2b/2)

Simplifying further, we get:

e = (-a, -b)

So the coordinates of point e are (-a, -b).

I hope this helps
