1. Definition
The midpoint is M((x₁+x₂)/2,(y₁+y₂)/2), the coordinate-wise average of the endpoints.
3. Properties & Laws
- Average coordinates;
- Section formula generalizes it;
- It is the symmetry center;
- OM=(OP₁+OP₂)/2.
4. Steps
- Enter endpoints;
- Click "Midpoint";
- Or click "Load Example".
5. Worked Examples
Example: (1,2),(5,6): M(3,4).
6. Common Pitfalls
Divide by 2;
Average each coordinate;
It lies on the segment.
