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 (-4, -3) and (7, -5).
So, the x-coordinate of the midpoint is ((-4 + 7)/2) = 1.5 And the y-coordinate of the midpoint is ((-3 + -5)/2) = -4
So, the midpoint is (1.5, -4).
Therefore, the correct answer is D.(1.5, -4).
