In order to determine the midpoint between the given points, use the following expressions for the x and y coordiantes of the midpoint:


\begin{gathered} x=(x_1+x_2)/(2) \\ y=(y_1+y_2)/(2) \end{gathered}

where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the coordinates of the given points.

In this case. you have:

(x1,y1) = (5,-7)

(x2,y2) = (5,7)


\begin{gathered} x=(5+5)/(2)=(10)/(2)=5 \\ y=(-7+7)/(2)=0 \end{gathered}

Hence, the coordinates of the midpoint is (5,0)
