Midpoint Calculator
Find the exact midpoint between two points on a coordinate plane. Enter the coordinates of both endpoints to get the midpoint coordinates and the segment length.
The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between its two endpoints. It divides the segment into two equal halves.
Midpoint Formula
M = ((x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2)
Simply average the x-coordinates and average the y-coordinates.
Example
The midpoint of (2, 4) and (8, 10) is ((2+8)/2, (4+10)/2) = (5, 7).
Applications
Midpoints are used in computer graphics (finding centers of objects), navigation (halfway points), geometry proofs (median and midsegment theorems), and data analysis (centroid calculations). The midpoint formula extends to 3D: M = ((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2, (z1+z2)/2).
