Answer:

(-3,-2) is the midpoint

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the midpoint

Add the x coordinates and divide by 2 to find the x coordinate of the midpoint

(-1+-5) /2 = -6/2 = -3

Add the y coordinates and divide by 2 to find the y coordinate of the midpoint

(-5+-9) /2 = -4/2 = -2

(-3,-2) is the midpoint

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we have to use the midpoint formula:

[tex]M=(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2} ,\frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2})[/tex]

Our points:

(-1, -5) (-5, 9)

Our x1 is -1, and our x2 is -5. Our y1 is -5, and our y2 is 9.

[tex]M=(\frac{-1+(-5) }{2} ,\frac{-5+9 }{2})[/tex]

[tex]M=(\frac{-6 }{2} ,\frac{4}{2})[/tex]

[tex]M=(-3 ,2)[/tex]

Answer: our midpoint: (-3, 2)
