Answer: A (5, -5.5)

Step-by-step explanation: To find the midpoint of a line segment, you must know the formations of points. Two coordinates are made up of (x1, y1)(x2, y2). Now, to find the answer, you have to add the two x's (which is 4 and 6 = 10) and divide by 2 which equals 5. Now to find the y point, add both y's together. -5 + -6 = -11, and dividing by 2 gives you -5.5

Thus, the midpoint is (5, -5.5)
