Midpoint Calculator
Find the point exactly halfway between two coordinates.
Inputs and results stay in this browser. Change one value at a time to explore the relationship.
Calculation steps
- Average x: (2 + 8) ÷ 2 = 5.
- Average y: (4 + 10) ÷ 2 = 7.
- The midpoint is (5, 7).
Definition and formula
Average the two x-coordinates and separately average the two y-coordinates.
Midpoint = ((x₁ + x₂) ÷ 2, (y₁ + y₂) ÷ 2)
Worked example
Between (2, 4) and (8, 10), the midpoint is (5, 7).
Common mistake
Do not average an x-coordinate with a y-coordinate.
How to learn with this calculator
Begin with the worked example, then change one value while keeping the others fixed. Compare the new result and calculation steps to identify which part of the formula changed.
