How to Calculate Midpoint Calculator

What is Midpoint Calculator?

The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between two endpoints. The midpoint formula averages the x-coordinates and y-coordinates separately. This is used in geometry, navigation, and computer graphics.

Formula

Midpoint = ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2)

Step-by-Step Guide

1Midpoint = ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2)
2For 3D: ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2, (z₁+z₂)/2)
3The midpoint divides the segment into two equal halves

Worked Examples

Input

Points (2, 4) and (8, 10)

Result

Midpoint: (5, 7)

((2+8)/2, (4+10)/2) = (5, 7)

Input

Points (−3, 1) and (7, −5)

Result

Midpoint: (2, −2)

(−3+7)/2=2, (1−5)/2=−2
