negative 5 halves comma 7
B
5 halves comma 7
C
5 halves comma negative 2
D
negative 5 halves comma negative 2

Explanation

Use the midpoint formula: average the x-coordinates and average the y-coordinates. The x-coordinate is (−12 + 7) ÷ 2 = −5/2, and the y-coordinate is (5 + (−9)) ÷ 2 = −2. The midpoint is (−5/2, −2), which is choice D.
