You find the midpoint of a line segment by dividing its length by two. If you are given two sets of 'x' and 'y' coordinates as the endpoints of the segment on a graph, then you need to use the formula [X1 plus X2]/2, [Y1 plus Y2]/2 to find the coordinates of the midpoint.

The 'x' coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the 'x' coordinates of the segment's ends. The 'y' coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the 'y' coordinates of the segment's ends.
The midpoint formula is used to find the point that is in the middle of a segment.
-- Find the distance between the endpoint and the midpoint.-- Double that distance to get the length of the complete segment.-- When you're finished, sit quietly for a moment and ponder the meaning of "midpoint".
Average the x and y (and z if there is one) coordinates to find a midpoint of a line.
If your question was: Does a midpoint bisect a segment? Then yes it does... It divides it in half.
