First, understand what a midpoint is — it is the exact centre point between two other points on a straight line.
How to Find It?
To find the midpoint, you take the average of the x-values and the average of the y-values of the two points.
That means:
Add the two x-numbers together, then divide by 2
Add the two y-numbers together, then divide by 2
The answers you get will give you the coordinates of the midpoint.
Example in Words:
Suppose one point is at (2, 4) and the other is at (6, 8).
First, add the x-values: 2 + 6 = 8 → divide by 2 → 8 ÷ 2 = 4
Then, add the y-values: 4 + 8 = 12 → divide by 2 → 12 ÷ 2 = 6
So, the midpoint is at (4, 6) — that’s right in the middle between the two points.
