Answer:(-1,1,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the mid point are calculated by dividing the sum of each pair of corresponding coordinates by 2.

This is how you calculate the mid of each coordinate separately:

1) x-coordinate:

mid x-coordinate = (- 6 + 4) / 2 = -2 / 2 = - 1

2) y-coordinate

mid y-coordinate = (3 - 1) / 2 = 2 / 2 = 1

3) z-coordinate

mid z-coordinate = (4 + 2) / 2 = 6 / 2 = 3

So, the midpoint is (-1, 1 , 3)
