Given:
∠PRS and ∠VUW are supplementary.
To prove:
Line TV || Line QS
Solution:
Step 1: Given
∠PRS and ∠VUW are supplementary.
Step 2: By the definition of supplementary angles
Step 3: Angles forming a linear pair sum to 180°
Step 4: By transitive property of equality
step 2 = step 3
Step 5: By algebra cancel the common terms in both side.
Step 6: By converse of corresponding angles postulate
Line TV || Line QS
Hence proved.

Please note that in coordinate geometry, the coordinates of the midpoint of a line segment is always the average of the coordinates of the endpoints of that line segment.
Thus, if, for example, the end coordinates of a line segment are and
then the coordinates of the midpoint of this line segment will be the average of the coordinates of the two endpoints and thus, it will be:
Thus for our question the endpoints are and
and hence the midpoint will be:
Thus, Option C is the correct option.
