FAQ

What is the midpoint formula?

Midpoint = ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2). Simply average the x-coordinates and y-coordinates.

Does this work in 3D?

Yes, add a z-coordinate: Midpoint = ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2, (z₁+z₂)/2).

Why is the midpoint useful?

It's used for bisecting segments, finding centers, creating symmetric designs, and more.

Is midpoint always on the line segment?

Yes, by definition the midpoint lies exactly on the line segment connecting the two points.
