    Midpoint Calculator

    The midpoint averages the coordinates: the segment from (−2, 3) to (6, −5) has midpoint (2, -1).

    Find:
    Midpoint

    (2, -1)

    Length of the segment
    11.3137085
    Slope of the segment
    -1
    Step-by-step solution
    1. M = ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2)
    2. = ((-2 + 6)/2, (3 + -5)/2)
    3. = (2, -1)

    Midpoint Formula

    M = ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2)

    endpoint: x₂ = 2Mx − x₁, y₂ = 2My − y₁

    Worked Example

    The segment from (−2, 3) to (6, −5):

    1. M = ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2)
    2. = ((-2 + 6)/2, (3 + -5)/2)
    3. = (2, -1)

    Slope of the segment: -1

    Test-day tip

    For perpendicular bisector questions, combine the midpoint with the negative reciprocal of the segment’s slope.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I find an endpoint from the midpoint?

    Double the midpoint and subtract the known endpoint: x₂ = 2Mx − x₁ and y₂ = 2My − y₁.

    Where is the centre of a circle given a diameter?

    At the midpoint of the diameter’s endpoints.
