Answer:
\Large\boxed{Midpoint=(5,~-2 )}

Explanation:

Given information


(x_1,~y_1)=(6,~-7)


(x_2,~y_2)=(4,~3)

Given the midpoint formula


Midpoint=((x_1+x_2)/(2) ,~(y_1+y_2)/(2) )

Substitute values into the given formula


Midpoint=(((6)+(4))/(2) ,~((-7)+(3))/(2) )

Simplify values on the numerator


Midpoint=((10)/(2) ,~(-4)/(2) )

Simplify the fractions


\Large\boxed{Midpoint=(5,~-2 )}

Hope this helps!! :)
