Answer
$$\left(-\frac{7}{2},\:\frac{3}{2}\right)$$
Work Step by Step
Using the distance formula, we find:
$$\sqrt{\left(-1-\left(-6\right)\right)^2+\left(8-\left(-5\right)\right)^2}\\ \sqrt{194}$$
Using the midpoint formula, we find:
$$\left(\frac{-1-6}{2},\:\frac{8-5}{2}\right)\\ \left(-\frac{7}{2},\:\frac{3}{2}\right)$$
