How to calculate
Average the two x coordinates and the two y coordinates separately to locate the midpoint of a straight segment in a plane.
Midpoint x = (x1+x2)/2; Midpoint y = (y1+y2)/2
Worked example
First x coordinate: 0; First y coordinate: 2; Second x coordinate: 6; Second y coordinate: 8.
Midpoint x: 3 ; Midpoint y: 5 .
Assumptions and limits
Average the two x coordinates and the two y coordinates separately to locate the midpoint of a straight segment in a plane. Use the same length unit throughout. Angles marked degrees use degrees. Results describe ideal geometric shapes.
Results are rounded for display; calculations use unrounded values. Read our calculation methodology.
Understanding the result
Average the two x coordinates and the two y coordinates separately to locate the midpoint of a straight segment in a plane.
When this tool is useful
Midpoint x = (x1+x2)/2; Midpoint y = (y1+y2)/2
