Hmmmmmm I think I know the answer to this
Answer:
Option A) (2.5,-1.3) is correct
The midpoint of the given line segment is M=(2.5,-1.3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the line segment with end points (3.5, 2.2) and (1.5, -4.8)
To find the mid point of these endpoints midpoint formula is 
Let (
) be the point (3.5, 2.2) and (
) be the point (1.5, -4.8)
substituting the points in the formula
Therefore M=(2.5,-1.3)
The midpoint of the given line segment is M=(2.5,-1.3)

If "a" and "b" are two values of x-coordinate, and "m" is the midpoint between them, it means the distance from one end to the midpoint is the same as the distance from the midpoint to the other end
... a-m = m-b
When we add m+b to this equation, we get
... a+b = 2m
Solving for m gives
... m = (a+b)/2
This applies to y-coordinates as well. So ...
... The midpoint between (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is ((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2)

Jennifer had (x1, y1) = (-4, 10) and (x2, y2) = (-2, 6). So her calculation would be
... midpoint = ((-4-2)/2, (10+6)/2) = (-6/2, 16/2) = (-3, 8)
Brandon had (x1, y1) = (9, -4) and (x2, y2) = (-12, 8). So his calculation would be
... midpoint = ((9-12)/2, (-4+8)/2) = (-3/2, 4/2) = (-1.5, 2)
