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

Step-by-step explanation:

The x coordinates of the two points are -6 and 4. They add to -6+4 = -2. Cut this in half to get -2/2 = -1.

The y coordinates of the two points are 3 and 9. They add to 3+9 = 12. Cut this in half to get 12/2 = 6.

The midpoint formula is

$\left(x_m, y_m) = \left((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2)\right)$

In short, you add the corresponding coordinates and then divide by 2.
