Quick Examples

Origin to (10, 10)
(0, 0) → (10, 10)
Symmetric Points
(-5, -5) → (5, 5)
Simple Coordinates
(1, 1) → (4, 5)
Mixed Signs
(-3, 7) → (9, -1)

Midpoint Formula

2D Midpoint Formula

For two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), the midpoint M is:

M = ((x₁ + x₂) / 2, (y₁ + y₂) / 2)

Simply average the x-coordinates and average the y-coordinates.

3D Midpoint Formula

For two points (x₁, y₁, z₁) and (x₂, y₂, z₂), the midpoint M is:

M = ((x₁ + x₂) / 2, (y₁ + y₂) / 2, (z₁ + z₂) / 2)

Why It Works

The midpoint is the exact center between two points. By averaging each coordinate:

  • You find the value that's equidistant from both original values
  • The resulting point is exactly halfway along the line segment
  • Distance from A to M equals distance from M to B

Common Applications
