To find the mean of a set of numbers, add all the numbers together and then divide by the total number of numbers in the set.

(-8) + (-7) + (-1) + (-9) + (-5) = -8 - 7 - 1 - 9 - 5 = -30

Now, divide the sum by the total number of numbers (5 in this case):

-30 / 5 = -6

Therefore, the mean of the set of numbers -8, -7, -1, -9, and -5 is -6.
