Answer: (6, 1)

The x coordinates, 6 and 6, add to 6+6 = 12. Then we cut this in half getting 12/2 = 6.

The x coordinate of the midpoint is 6.

The y coordinates, 7 and -5, add to 7+(-5) = 2. Which cuts in half to get 2/2 = 1.

The y coordinate of the midpoint is 1.

Put together, the midpoint is located at (6,1)
