What is the midpoint of the segment shown

Answer:
B) (-⁷/₂, ³/₂)
Step-by-step explanation:
Midpoint equation: ( (x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2 ), when the two points are (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂).
Plug in: ( ⁽⁻⁶ ⁺ ⁻¹⁾/₂, ⁽⁻² ⁺ ⁵⁾/₂ )
Add: (-⁷/₂, ³/₂)
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the midpoint formula
given 2 points (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) then the midpoint is
[ [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](x₁ + x₂), [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](y₁ + y₂ ) ]
let (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 6, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 1, 5)
midpoint = [ [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](- 6 - 1), [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](- 2 + 5)]
= (- [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex], [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] ) → B
