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 (8, -3) and (-5, -9).
So, the x-coordinate of the midpoint is (8 + -5)/2 = 1.5 And the y-coordinate of the midpoint is (-3 + -9)/2 = -6
So, the midpoint is (1.5, -6).
Therefore, the correct answer is B.(1.5, -6).
