Determine the midpoint of the given coordinates.

M=(x1+x22,y1+y22)midpoint formula=(5+(5)2+3+(3)2)substitute for the given values=(02,02)simplify the numerators=(0,0)midpoint of the segment\begin{align*} M & = \left ( \dfrac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2} , \dfrac {y_{1} + y_{2}}{2} \right) && {\text {midpoint formula}} \\ & = \left( \dfrac {5 + \left(-5\right)}{2} + \dfrac{3 + \left(-3\right)}{2} \right) && {\text {substitute for the given values}} \\ & = \left ( \dfrac {0}{2} , \dfrac {0}{2} \right) && {\text {simplify the numerators}} \\ & = \left ( 0 , 0 \right) && {\text {midpoint of the segment}} \end{align*}
