That means that along the line connecting the charges, the left charge contributes a rightward electric field, and the right charge contributes a leftward electric field. They are equidistant so they both have magnitude E=kqr2. ... There is no zero-field point for a pair of equal-magnitude-but-opposite-sign charges.
