Answer:


\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{(5.5 \: , \: - 9.5)}}}}}

Explanation:

Let the points be A and B

Let A ( 9 , -9 ) be ( x₁ , y₁ ) and B ( 2 , - 10 ) be ( x₂ , y₂ )

Finding the midpoint


\boxed{ \sf{midpoint = ( (x1 + x2)/(2) , (y1 + y2)/(2) }}


\longrightarrow{ \sf{midpoint = ( (9 + 2)/(2) , \: ( - 9 + ( - 10))/(2)}} )


\longrightarrow{ \sf {midpoint = ( (11)/(2) \: , \: ( - 9 - 10)/(2)})}


\longrightarrow{ \sf{midpoint = (5.5 \: , \: ( - 19)/(2)}} )


\longrightarrow{ \sf{midpoint = (5.5 \: , - 9.5}})

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
