To find the midpoint of the segment between the two given points, use the midpoint formula:
M = [tex] \frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2} ,\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2} [/tex]
Substitute accordingly and simplify.
M = [tex] \frac{17+(-14)}{2} ,\frac{-11+(-16)}{2} [/tex]
Add.
M = [tex] \frac{3}{2} ,-\frac{27}{2} [/tex]
Answer:
B. [tex] (\frac{3}{2} ,-\frac{27}{2} ) [/tex]
