Midpoint Formula

Midpoint Formula

Midpoint formula coordinates: ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2) is the formula for the midpoint between points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). Note that this is simply the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates.

Midpoint formulas: on a plane: ((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2); in three dimensions: ((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2, (z1+z2)/2)
