Mid Point Definition:
The point halfway between the endpoints of a line segment is called the midpoint. A midpoint divides a line segment into two equal parts.
Mid Point Formula:
MidPoint
where
(x1, y1) (x2, y2) be the end points of a line segment.

Mid Point Example:
Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the line joining (-1, -3), (-5, -7).
x1 = -1, y1 = -3 and
x2 = -5, y2 = -7
Substitute in the formula as :
The above example will clearly illustrates how to calculate the Coordinates of MidPoint manually.
-- The 'x' coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the 'x'-coordinates of the end-points. -- The 'y' coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the 'y'-coordinates of the end-points.
midpoint: (8, 5)
Just calculate the midpoint (which is the same as the average) of both the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates.
oh my goodness not even dr.sheldon cooper can answer that
If the midpoint of a horizontal line segment with a length of 8 is (3, -2), then the coordinates of its endpoints are (6, -2) and (0, -4).
-- The 'x' coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the 'x'-coordinates of the end-points. -- The 'y' coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the 'y'-coordinates of the end-points.
The possible coordinates of the midpoint depend on the coordinates of A and T and these depend on what these two points are and how they are related.If A = (p,q) and T = (r,s ) then the midpoint of AT has coordinates [(p+r)/2, ((q+s)/2].
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 coordinates of point B can be calculated using the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula is used to find the midpoint of two points, and is calculated by taking the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates. In this case, we are given the midpoint of AB, which is (-2, -4). We also know the coordinates of point A, which are (-3, -5). Using the midpoint formula, we can calculate the x-coordinate of point B by taking the average of the x-coordinates of points A and M. This is (-3 + -2)/2 = -2.5. We can calculate the y-coordinate of point B in a similar way. This is (-5 + -4)/2 = -4.5. Therefore, the coordinates of point B are (-2.5, -4.5).
To find the midpoint, you find the mean (average) of each direction's coordinates. The average of the x coordinates is (9+7)/2 = 8. The average of y coordinates is (11+8)/2 = 9.5, So the midpoint is (8,9.5). This same method works for 3 and higher dimensions.
midpoint: (8, 5)
The x-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the x-coordinates of the end-points of the line and the y-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the y-coordinates of the end-points of the line.
If the coordinates of the end points are (a,b) and (c,d) then the midpoint is the point whose coordinates are [(a+c)/2, (b+d)/2]
Average the x and y (and z if there is one) coordinates to find a midpoint of a line.
how do you find distance between points
Take the arithmetic average of the y-coordinates of the end points.
The midpoint is at (7, 6)
