In the complex plane, consider the segment whose endpoints are the points corresponding to \(-6 + 3i\) and \(2 - 7i\). The midpoint of this segment corresponds to which of the following complex numbers?

Summary Submit Skip Question

The midpoint for complex numbers works similarly to real numbers, except the real part behaves like the \(x\)-coordinate and the imaginary part behaves like the \(y\)-coordinate.

$$ \frac{-6+2}{2} + \frac{(3i+(-7i))}{2} $$ $$ =\frac{-4}{2} + \frac{-4i}{2} $$ $$ = -2 -2i $$
