Answer:

The midpoint is (7,-1)

Explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates of the endpoints and divide by 2

(9+5)/2 = 14/2 = 7

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinates of the endpoints and divide by 2

(3+-5)/2 = -2/2 = -1

The midpoint is (7,-1)
