The midpoint formula finds the exact centre point between two coordinates on a plane. It simply averages the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates separately. The result is the point that lies exactly halfway between the two given points.
Find the midpoint between (2, 4) and (8, 10).
x₁=2, y₁=4, x₂=8, y₂=10x = (2 + 8) / 2 = 10 / 2 = 5y = (4 + 10) / 2 = 14 / 2 = 7The midpoint is at coordinates (5, 7).
