Answer:

  C.  (1, -1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of a line segment has coordinates that are the average of the end point coordinates.

__

  M = (A +B)/2 . . . . . . midpoint of segment between A(1, 4) and B(1, -5)

  M = ((1, 4) +(1, -5))/2 = (1 +1, 4 -5)/2 = (2, -1)/2

  M = (1, -1/2)

The midpoint of the vertical line segment is (1, -1/2).

_____

Additional comment

The midpoint will always be on the line segment. Since this line segment is vertical with x = 1, the x-coordinate of the midpoint must be 1.
