The midpoint of a line is self-explanatory, it is the middle point of the line. This pertains to both the x and y coordinate values.

How to Calculate the Midpoint of a Line

When you are calculating the midpoint of a line you will need to use the start and end coordinates to get it. Once you have those coordinates, you can use the following formula to find the midpoint:

Where:
  • MA = Midpoint of axis

  • A1 = Axis 1 (when calculating the midpoint for the x-axis, this would be equal to x1)

  • A2 = Axis 2 (when calculating the midpoint for the x-axis, this would be equal to x2)

Understanding Your Results

The result from this tool is very simple and easy to understand. It will be a set of coordinates that outline the midpoint of the line that you have provided to the tool. It will be formatted like a proper point, for example it will look like (4, 5).

How to Use the Midpoint Tool

Using our midpoint tool is very easy and efficient. It works with any lines and any other similarly graphed figures. The steps involved with using the tool include:

  1. Enter the first set of coordinates.

Calculation Example

We are trying to find the midpoint of a line and need the help of this tool to do so. We have our coordinates: (4, 6) and (7, 10). To use this tool we will enter the first set of coordinates into the fields and then the second set. We can now hit calculate and get our midpoint of (5.5, 8).

Midpoint - Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, if a line has no beginning and end it will indeed have no midpoint. There must be a beginning and end point, or just two different points, to calculate with to get the midpoint.

A line will only have exactly one midpoint.
