Midpoint Formula

Introduction to Midpoint Formula

The midpoint formula is used to find the midpoint between two given points in a coordinate plane. The midpoint is the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates. In this formula, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points, and Midpoint represents the midpoint of the segment.

Parameter usage:

• (x1, y1)= coordinates of the first point
• (x2, y2)= coordinates of the second point

Example valid values:

• (x1, y1)= (5, 7)
• (x2, y2)= (3, -4)

Output:

• Midpoint= the coordinate of the midpoint

Data validation:

The coordinates can be any real numbers, positive, negative, or zero.

Summary

This formula calculates the midpoint between two given points on a coordinate plane. It is widely used in mathematics and science applications.
