Lets say, If tou write A and B in terms of x and y
Then A = ( 6,-7) = ( x1, y1)
B = (6,3) = (x2, y2)
Now the formula for midpoint is
( x1+x2)/ 2 for x coordinate
And (y1+y2)/2 for y cordinate
So,
Midpoint = [( 6+6)/2 , (-7+3)/2]
Midpoint = (6,-2)

Subtract the Ys over the Bs and the answer will be -10.
