The midpoint is the point exactly halfway along the line segment joining two points in the coordinate plane. This calculator returns it as an ordered pair from the two endpoints you enter — useful in geometry, graphics, mapping and any 2D layout problem.
How it works
The midpoint is found by averaging the x-coordinates and averaging the y-coordinates of the two endpoints:
midpoint = ((x₁ + x₂) ÷ 2, (y₁ + y₂) ÷ 2)
Because averaging is symmetric, the order of the points does not matter — you get the same midpoint either way. The formula works for negative and decimal coordinates too.
Example
For the points (2, 4) and (6, 10):
- x = (2 + 6) ÷ 2 = 4
- y = (4 + 10) ÷ 2 = 7
The midpoint is (4, 7).
| Point A | Point B | Midpoint |
|---|---|---|
| (2, 4) | (6, 10) | (4, 7) |
| (0, 0) | (8, 0) | (4, 0) |
| (-3, 5) | (3, -5) | (0, 0) |
