Midpoint Between Two Points Calculator

Understanding the Midpoint Formula

The midpoint between two points in a coordinate plane is the point that is exactly halfway between them. The formula to find the midpoint, M, between two points, A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2), is given by:

M = ((x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2)

Example Calculation

For instance, if you want to find the midpoint between the points (2, 3) and (4, 7), you would calculate:

• M = ((2 + 4) / 2, (3 + 7) / 2) = (3, 5)

This means the midpoint is at the coordinates (3, 5).

Interesting Facts

• The concept of midpoint is widely used in geometry, physics, and computer graphics.
• In a three-dimensional space, the midpoint formula can be extended to include a z-coordinate.
• The midpoint can also be used in real-life applications, such as determining the best meeting point between two locations.
