For this case we have that by definition, the coordinates of the midpoint are given by:
[tex]M = (\frac {x_ {1} + x_ {2}} {2}, \frac {y_ {1} + y_ {2}} {2})[/tex]
We have the following points:
[tex](x_ {1}, y_ {1}) :( 8, -3)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (- 5, -9)[/tex]
Substituting the values:
[tex]M = (\frac {8 + (- 5)} {2}, \frac {-3 + (- 9)} {2})\\M = (\frac {8-5} {2}, \frac {-3-9} {2})\\M = (\frac {3} {2}, \frac {-12} {2})\\M = (1.5; -6)[/tex]
Answer:
Option C
