Midpoint Formula

(Center between two points)

The midpoint between (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is ((x₁ + x₂) / 2, (y₁ + y₂) / 2). You average the x coordinates and average the y coordinates.

The midpoint of (2, 3) and (8, 7) is ((2+8)/2, (3+7)/2) = (5, 5).

This formula is useful for finding centers, dividing segments, and checking symmetry.
