The midpoint of a line segment is the point that is halfway between the two endpoints. To find the midpoint, we can use the following formula:

(x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2

Where:

- x1 and y1 are the coordinates of point A

- x2 and y2 are the coordinates of point B

In this case, we have:

(-8.5 + 6.5)/2, (4 - 7)/2

(-2, -1.5)

Therefore, the midpoint of the line segment AB is (-2, -1.5).
