Midpoint Calculator

Find the midpoint exactly halfway between two points on the coordinate plane.

Midpoint
(2, 3)
The point exactly halfway between the two points.

How it works

  1. 1Enter the coordinates of two points.
  2. 2The midpoint formula averages each coordinate: ((x₁ + x₂) ÷ 2, (y₁ + y₂) ÷ 2).
  3. 3Read the midpoint coordinates.

Use cases

  • Find the centre of a line segment.
  • Locate the halfway point between two places on a grid.
  • Solve midpoint-formula homework.

Frequently asked questions

What is the midpoint formula?

Average the x-values and the y-values: midpoint = ((x₁ + x₂) ÷ 2, (y₁ + y₂) ÷ 2).

Is the midpoint always between the points?

Yes. It lies exactly halfway along the straight segment joining the two points.

Does the order of points matter?

No. Averaging is symmetric, so swapping the points gives the same midpoint.
