Midpoint of a line segment

Learn it The midpoint of (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is the average of the coordinates: ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2). To find a missing endpoint, work backwards: x₂ = 2 × (midpoint x) − x₁.

Example: Midpoint of (−2, 5) and (6, −1).

  1. x: (−2 + 6) ÷ 2 = 2.
  2. y: (5 + (−1)) ÷ 2 = 2.
  3. (2, 2).
