Frequently asked questions

The midpoint of two points is ((x₁ + x₂) ÷ 2, (y₁ + y₂) ÷ 2). The midpoint of (2, 4) and (6, 8) is (4, 6).

It is the exact centre of the line segment joining the two points, equally far from each end.

No. Adding the coordinates and halving gives the same midpoint whichever point you list first.
