Answer:

Option C (2.5, 1) is the right alternative.

Explanation:

The given points are:

A = (-1, 5) = (x₁, y₁)

B = (6, -3) = (x₂, y₂)

Now,

The midpoint on X-axis is:

=
(x_1+x_2)/(2)

=
(-1+6)/(2)

=
(5)/(2)

=
2.5

The midpoint on Y-axis is:

=
(y_1+y_2)/(2)

=
(5+(-3))/(2)

=
(5-3)/(2)

=
(2)/(2)

=
1

Thus the midpoint of AB is "2.5, 1".
