The midpoint of a segment can be found by adding the two y values and then dividing by two, and then adding the 2 x values and then dividing by two as well. Then, using these new x and y values, we make a point. So, to find the midpoint of this segment, the first step, like said before, is two add the x values. -2 + (-3) = -5, divided by 2 = -2.5. Now it's time for the y values. 1 + 2 = 3
3/2 = 1.5. That means that the midpoint of this segment is (-2.5, 1.5), or C.
