• Midpoint Formula: $(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-9, -5)

Point (-1, -9)

Step 2: Find Midpoint

Simply plug in your coordinates into the midpoint formula to find midpoint

1. Substitute [MF]:                    $(\frac{-9-1}{2},\frac{-5-9}{2})$
2. Subtract:                               $(\frac{-10}{2},\frac{-14}{2})$
3. Divide:                                  $(-5,-7)$
