The midpoint of a line segment in three dimensions is found by averaging the x, y, and z coordinates of the endpoints separately. For the given points $(-2, -7, 3)$ and $(-3, -4, -6)$, the midpoint is calculated as follows: $$\left( \frac{-2 + (-3)}{2}, \frac{-7 + (-4)}{2}, \frac{3 + (-6)}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{-5}{2}, \frac{-11}{2}, \frac{-3}{2} \right)$$.
