How the Midpoint Calculator Works
The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between its two endpoints — the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates: ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2). For the points (1,2) and (4,6), the midpoint is (2.5, 4).
Enter both endpoints and this calculator returns the midpoint, along with the distance between the points and the horizontal and vertical changes.
midpoint = ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2)
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you find the midpoint?
Average the two x-coordinates and average the two y-coordinates. The midpoint of (1,2) and (4,6) is (2.5, 4).
What is the midpoint formula?
((x₁+x₂) ÷ 2, (y₁+y₂) ÷ 2) — the mean of the endpoints’ coordinates.
Does the order of the points matter?
No — averaging gives the same midpoint whichever point you enter first.
