C, see explanation in the picture attached below.
Imagine you're moving along the segment. Since the midpoint is in the middle of the segment (obviously), it means that when you've traveled from G to A, you're halfway through your journey, along both x and y directions. So, let's break the problem in two and analyze both directions.
Along the x axis, you've moved from -3 to 1, so you moved 4 units forward. This means that you have 4 units still to go, and your journey will end at coordinate 5.
Similarly, along the y axis, you've moved from 5 to -4, so you moved 9 units downward. This means that you have 9 units still to go, and your journey will end at coordinate -13.
So, the coordinates of the endpoint are
If you prefer a more analyitical approach, simply write the definition of the midpoint and solve it for the coordinates of T.
We have and
. The midpoint is computed as
So, you have the equations
Multply both equations by 2 to get
Move the constants to the right hand sides to get
