The midpoint formula is \(\frac{ x_{1} + x_{2} }{2}, \frac{ y_{1}+ y_{2} }{2}\)
So just plug in the corresponding coordinates in the correct place to get the midpoint.
x_1=-5 ; x_2=9 ; y_1=-5 ; y_2=5
((-5 + 9)/2 , (-5 + 5)/2)
(4/2 , 0/2)
(2,0) is where Kenya's house is(which is the midpoint).
The distance formula is a bit more complicated than that. The distance formula is D=\(\sqrt{({y_{2}- y_{1} }^{2}) + ({ x_{2}- x_{1}}^{2} ) }\)
In this case now, your looking for the distance from Hannah's house to Kenya's house.
D=\(\sqrt{(-5-2)^{2} + (-5-0)^{2} }\)
=\(\sqrt{49+25}\)
=\(\sqrt{74}\) ≈8.6023
