Midpoint of a Line Segment

Introduction to Midpoint of a Line Segment Calculator

The midpoint of a line segment in a Cartesian plane is calculated by taking the average of the x-coordinates of the endpoints for the x-coordinate of the midpoint, and similarly for the y-coordinate. In this formula, Midpoint represents the midpoint of the line segment, x1, y1 are the coordinates of one endpoint, and x2, y2 are the coordinates of the other endpoint. The result is a point in the plane.

Parameter usage:

• x1, y1 = coordinates of the first endpoint
• x2, y2 = coordinates of the second endpoint

Output:

• Midpoint = midpoint of the line segment

Data validation

All parameters must be numbers.

Summary

This calculator computes the midpoint of a line segment given the coordinates of its endpoints. It is particularly useful in geometry and physics calculations.
