-$( - 6 , - 2 )$ and $( 9 , - 3 )$
A) $\left( - \frac { 15 } { 2 } , \frac { 1 } { 2 } \right)$
B) $( - 15,1 )$
C) $\left( \frac { 3 } { 2 } , - \frac { 5 } { 2 } \right)$
D) $( 3 , - 5 )$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The midpoint of a line segment is found by averaging the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates of the endpoints. For the given points $(-6, -2)$ and $(9, -3)$, the midpoint is $\left( \frac{-6 + 9}{2}, \frac{-2 - 3}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{3}{2}, -\frac{5}{2} \right)$.
