Answer: (1, 2)

Step-by-step explanation

The x coordinates of E and F are 6 and -4 respectively.

Add them up and divide in half.

  • Add: 6 + (-4) = 2
  • Divide in half: 2/2 = 1

This is the x coordinate of the midpoint.

We follow the same idea for the y coordinates.

  • Add: -3 + 7 = 4
  • Divide in half: 4/2 = 2

This is the y coordinate of the midpoint.

The midpoint is located at (1, 2)
