B
open paren negative 14 and 1 half comma negative 7 close paren
C
open paren negative 15 comma negative 6 and 1 half close paren
D
open paren negative 1 fourth comma 8 close paren

Explanation

Use the midpoint formula in reverse: the endpoint coordinates add to twice the midpoint. So Z = (2(-5) - 4.5, 2(3) - 13) = (-14.5, -7). This matches choice B, (-14 and 1/2, -7).
