Answer in fraction form = (15/2, 13/2)

Answer in decimal form = (7.5, 6.5)

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

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the midpoint, we average the two endpoint values. We handle the x and y coordinates separately.

The x coordinates of each point are 6 and 9. They average to (6+9)/2 = 15/2 = 7.5; so you add up the x coordinates and divide by 2.

The y coordinates are handled the same way. Add them to get 4+9 = 13 and then divide by 2 to get 13/2 = 6.5

The midpoint is (15/2, 13/2) = (7.5, 6.5)
