Find the Midpoint What is the midpoint of the points (0,5) and (0,-3) ?

What is the midpoint of the points $(0, 5)$ and $(0, - 3)$ ?

Use the midpoint formula to find the midpoint of the line segment.

$(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2}}{2})$

Substitute in the values for $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ and $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ .

$(\frac{0 + 0}{2}, \frac{5 - 3}{2})$

Cancel the common factor of $0 + 0$ and $2$ .

Factor $2$ out of $0$ .

$(\frac{2 (0) + 0}{2}, \frac{5 - 3}{2})$

Factor $2$ out of $0$ .

$(\frac{2 \cdot 0 + 2 \cdot 0}{2}, \frac{5 - 3}{2})$

Factor $2$ out of $2 \cdot 0 + 2 \cdot 0$ .

$(\frac{2 \cdot (0 + 0)}{2}, \frac{5 - 3}{2})$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $2$ .

$(\frac{2 \cdot (0 + 0)}{2 (1)}, \frac{5 - 3}{2})$

Cancel the common factor.

$(\frac{2 \cdot (0 + 0)}{2 \cdot 1}, \frac{5 - 3}{2})$

Rewrite the expression.

$(\frac{0 + 0}{1}, \frac{5 - 3}{2})$

Divide $0 + 0$ by $1$ .

$(0 + 0, \frac{5 - 3}{2})$

Add $0$ and $0$ .

$(0, \frac{5 - 3}{2})$

Subtract $3$ from $5$ .

$(0, \frac{2}{2})$

Divide $2$ by $2$ .

$(0, 1)$
