  • Total distance8.485281

Step-by-step

  1. Midpoint = ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2).
  2. mx = (2 + 8) / 2 = 5.0000.
  3. my = (4 + 10) / 2 = 7.0000.

How to use this calculator

  • Enter two points.
  • Read midpoint coordinates.

About this calculator

The midpoint of two points is the average of their coordinates: M = ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2). It's exactly halfway between, equidistant from both points. Used in geometry (constructing perpendicular bisectors), graphics (interpolation, mesh subdivision), and statistics (sometimes as median proxy).

Frequently asked

Average of two numbers is exactly halfway between them. Apply to each axis independently.
