Midpoint of a Line Segment. The midpoint is halfway between the two end points: Its x value is halfway between the two x values. Its y value is halfway between the two y values. To calculate it: Add both "x" coordinates, divide by 2. Add both "y" coordinates, divide by 2.
Think of the midpoint as the “halfway point” of a line segment, and use the Midpoint Formula to calculate it. Two endpoints of the line segment are needed to find the midpoint using the formula.
The midpoint formula in coordinate geometry is defined as the formula to find the center point of a straight line, using the coordinates of its endpoints. It says the midpoint of a line segment with coordinates (x 1 y 1 ) and (x 2 , y 2 ) is given by the formula ((x 1 + x 2 )/2, (y 1 + y 2 )/2).
Learn how to use the midpoint formula to find the midpoint of a line segment on the coordinate plane, or find the endpoint of a line segment given one point and the midpoint. Created by Sal Khan.
Walk through writing a general formula for the midpoint between two points. The midpoint of the points ( x 1 , y 1 ) and ( x 2 , y 2 ) is given by the following formula: ( x 1 + x 2 2 , y 1 + y 2 2 )
The midpoint formula is a formula used to find the halfway point between two coordinates on a graph. Given a line segment with endpoints A and B, the midpoint is the point located exactly between A and B, meaning that it is the same distance from A and B, as in the figure below.
Here we will learn about how to find the midpoint, including finding the midpoint of a line segment using Cartesian coordinates, and finding a missing endpoint when the midpoint and other endpoint are given.
