Final answer:

The midpoint of the segment is (-11, -11.5), which is not among the given options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of a segment can be found by averaging the coordinates of the two endpoints. Given the options A. (-1, -10), B. (-15, -15), C. (-15, -15), and D. (-7, -8), we can determine the midpoint by averaging the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates separately. The average of the x-coordinates is (-15 + (-7))/2 = -22/2 = -11, and the average of the y-coordinates is (-15 + (-8))/2 = -23/2 = -11.5. Therefore, the midpoint of the segment is (-11, -11.5), which is not among the given options.
