The coordinates of the midpoint:

((x_1+x_2)/(2), (y_1+y_2)/(2))
x₁,y₁ - the coordinates of one endpoint
x₂,y₂ - the coordinates of the other endpoint


(-3,-7) \\ x_1=-3 \\ y_1=-7 \\ \\ (3,0) \\ x_2=3 \\ y_2=0 \\ \\ (x_1+x_2)/(2)=(-3+3)/(2)=(0)/(2)=0 \\ \\ (y_1+y_2)/(2)=(-7+0)/(2)=(-7)/(2)=-3.5 \\ \\ \boxed{(0,-3.5)} - \hbox{the midpoint}
