Distance A to B
How the midpoint calculator works
- Enter the x and y coordinates of point A and point B.
- The tool averages each coordinate pair to find the midpoint.
- The straight-line distance between the two points is calculated at the same time.
The formulas
midpoint = ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2) | distance = √((x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²)
FAQ
What is the midpoint of two points?
The point exactly halfway between them - found by averaging their x-coordinates and averaging their y-coordinates separately.
Does this work with negative coordinates?
Yes. Both points can have any positive or negative x and y value, and the formula works the same way.
Why is distance shown alongside the midpoint?
They are commonly needed together - the midpoint formula and the distance formula both come from the same two points, so showing both saves a second lookup.
Is this the same as the center of a line segment?
Yes. The midpoint of a line segment's two endpoints is the exact center point of that segment.
