The two given points have x coordinates of x = 6 each. They add to 6+6 = 12. Divide this in half to get 12/2 = 6. Since the x coordinates were both the same, the midpoint x coordinate is the same as well.
The y coordinates are a bit more interesting. Add them up to get -5+1 = -4. Then cut this in half to get -4/2 = -2. The y coordinate of the midpoint is -2.
