Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

midpoint theorem : (mx₂+nx₁/m+n , my₂+ny₁/m+n)

(-3, k) = ( -3*-2 + k*-5/-3+k  , -3*3 + k*-4/-3+k)

(-3, k) = (6-5k/-3+k , -9-4k/-3+k)

Compare x values of  both side ;

-3 = 6-5k/-3+k

-3 *( -3+k) = 6-5k

-3*-3 +k *-3 = 6-5k

9 -3k = 6- 5k

5k -3k = 6 - 9

2k = -3

k= -3/2
