Answer:

The midpoint is (1,2)

Explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates together and divide by 2

(x1+x2)/2 = (-1+3)/2 = 2/2 =1

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinates together and divide by 2

(y1+y2)/2 = (7-3)/2 = 4/2 =2

The midpoint is (1,2)
