The midpoint is at #(-1/6, 1)#.

The midpoint formula is #((x_1+x_2)/2, (y_1+y_2)/2)#.

We have two points, so let's plug them into the formula and simplify:
#((1/3+(-2/3))/2, (-4+6)/2)#

#=((-1/3)/2, (2)/2)#

#=(-1/6, 2/2)#

#=(-1/6, 1)#

Therefore, the midpoint is at #(-1/6, 1)#.

Hope this helps!
