(-1/3,1/3) and (-7/3,-5/3)
First, find the midpoint of the x-coordinates
+%28+-7%2F3+%2B+%28-1%2F3%29+%29+%2F+2+
---------------------
+%28-8%2F3%29+%2F+2+
-------------
+-8%2F6+=+-4%2F3+
----------------
Then find the midpoint of the y-coordinates
+%28+-5%2F3+%2B+1%2F3+%29+%2F+2+
-------------------
+%28-4%2F3%29%2F2+
-----------
+-2%2F3+
--------
The midpoint is (-4/3, -2/3 )
