Answer
$F$
Work Step by Step
To find the coordinates of the midpoint, let us use the midpoint formula, which is given by the following:
$M = (\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$
The points we are given are $(-1, 2)$ and $(5, 6)$. Let's plug these points into the formula:
$M = (\frac{-1 + 5}{2}, \frac{2 + 6}{2})$
Use addition to simplify:
$M = (\frac{4}{2}, \frac{8}{2})$
Simplify the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, $2$:
$M = (2, 4)$
The coordinates of the midpoint of this segment are $(2, 4)$. This corresponds to option $F$.
