Answer 1

C )
`((-9)/(2),(-11)/(2)  )`

Explanation:

Midpoint : -

The midpoint formula is

`((x_(1)+x_(2)  )/(2 ) ,(y_(1)+y_(2)  )/(2))`.....(a)

The given points are

A(-12,-3) and B(3,-8)

substitute these points we get

`((-12+3)/(2),(-3-8)/(2))`

The midpoint of the segment is

`((-9)/(2),(-11)/(2)  )`
