The midpoint $$ M $$ of a line segment with endpoints $$(x_1, y_1)$$ and $$(x_2, y_2)$$ is calculated using the formula:

$$
M = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right)
$$

Given the endpoints $$(-9, -6)$$ and $$ (4, 2) $$:

$$
M = \left( \frac{-9 + 4}{2}, \frac{-6 + 2}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{-5}{2}, \frac{-4}{2} \right) = \left( -\frac{5}{2}, -2 \right)
$$

**Midpoint $$ = \left( -\dfrac{5}{2}, -2 \right) $$**
Midpoint $$ = \left( -\dfrac{5}{2}, -2 \right) $$
