Answer:

D. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding M:

M is the midpoint of L and P, which is given by the mean coordinates of L and P.

x for L is -3, and for P is 9. So

(-3 + 9)/2 = 6/2 = 3

Finding N:

N is the midpoint between M and P, that is, the mean between the coordinates of M and P. So

(3 + 9)/2 = 12/2 = 6

The correct answer is given by option D.
