Midpoint Calculator
The midpoint averages the coordinates: the segment from (−2, 3) to (6, −5) has midpoint (2, -1).
(2, -1)
- Length of the segment
- 11.3137085
- Slope of the segment
- -1
Step-by-step solution
- M = ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2)
- = ((-2 + 6)/2, (3 + -5)/2)
- = (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):
- M = ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2)
- = ((-2 + 6)/2, (3 + -5)/2)
- = (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.
