Midpoint Calculator
Midpoint and distance between two points with the formula and steps.
Quick answer
How do you find the midpoint of two points?
Average the x-values and average the y-values. For (2, 4) and (8, 10): x = (2 + 8) ÷ 2 = 5 and y = (4 + 10) ÷ 2 = 7, so the midpoint is (5, 7).
M = ((x₁ + x₂) ÷ 2, (y₁ + y₂) ÷ 2) • Distance = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²)
⚡ Answer updates as you type · Enter = calculate · Esc = reset
- x = (x₁ + x₂) ÷ 2 = (2 + 8) ÷ 2 = 5
- y = (y₁ + y₂) ÷ 2 = (4 + 10) ÷ 2 = 7
- Distance = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²) = 8.4853
Find the midpoint between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), plus the distance between them, with steps.
About this Midpoint Calculator
The Midpoint Calculator finds the point exactly halfway between two coordinates on a graph using the midpoint formula. It also gives the distance between the points and shows each step for geometry and algebra homework.
What you'll need
- • x₁ and y₁ of the first point
- • x₂ and y₂ of the second point
How it works
