You asked:

Find the midpoint between the points (2,0)\left(-2, 0\right) and (6,8)\left(6, 8\right).

MathBot Answer:

(2,4) \left( 2, 4 \right) is the midpoint between (2,0) \left( -2, 0 \right) and (6,8) \left( 6, 8 \right) .


The midpoint between two points is the point MM, such that:

  • MM is the same distance from each point
  • MM lies on the line segment connecting the two points

The coordinates of the midpoint between the points (x1,x2)(x_1, x_2) and (y1,y2)(y_1, y_2) are given by the formula: M=(x1+y12,x2+y22) M = \left(\frac{x_1 + y_1}{2}, \frac{x_2 + y_2}{2}\right) The coordinates of the midpoint are: M=(2+62,0+82)=(2,4) M = \left( \frac{ -2 + 6 }{2}, \frac{ 0 + 8 }{2} \right) = \left( 2, 4 \right)
