Solution

The midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2).

Here, the endpoints are (-6, -3) and (9, -7).

So, the x-coordinate of the midpoint is ((-6 + 9)/2) = 1.5 And the y-coordinate of the midpoint is ((-3 + -7)/2) = -5

So, the midpoint is (1.5, -5).

Therefore, the correct answer is B.(1.5, -5).
