Midpoint Formula

To find the midpoint MM between two points A(x1,y1)A(x_1, y_1) and B(x2,y2)B(x_2, y_2):

M=(x1+x22,y1+y22)M = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right)

Endpoint Formula

If you know the midpoint M(xm,ym)M(x_m, y_m) and one endpoint A(x1,y1)A(x_1, y_1), the other endpoint B(x2,y2)B(x_2, y_2) is:

x2=2xmx1;y2=2ymy1

Example:

Midpoint Example
Find the midpoint between (2,4)(2, 4) and (6,8)(6, 8):

M=(2+62,4+82)=(4,6)M = \left( \frac{2 + 6}{2}, \frac{4 + 8}{2} \right) = (4, 6)

Endpoint Example
Find the missing endpoint if midpoint is (5,7)(5, 7) and one endpoint is (3,5)(3, 5):

x2=253=7;y2=275=9x_2 = 2 \cdot 5 – 3 = 7 \quad ; \quad y_2 = 2 \cdot 7 – 5 = 9

So the missing endpoint is (7,9)(7, 9).
