What this means
Add the x-coordinates of the two points and divide by two to get the x-coordinate of the midpoint. Repeat for the y-coordinates.
The midpoint of a segment is the point that splits it into two equal halves. Its coordinates are simply the averages of the two endpoints’ coordinates.
Formula
M = ((x₁ + x₂) ÷ 2, (y₁ + y₂) ÷ 2)

FAQ
Does this work for any two points?
Yes — the midpoint formula works anywhere on the coordinate plane, including in 3D when averaged per axis.
Can coordinates be negative?
Yes, negative coordinates are averaged just like any others.
