Whats the midpiont formula? I am totally blanking and i need it asap
Assume you have two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
The midpoint formula says that the midpoint is
(x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2 )

The midpoint formula is used to find the exact middle point between two endpoints in a line segment. It is represented by the coordinates (x,y) and is calculated using the following formula:
Midpoint (x,y) = ((x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2)
To calculate the midpoint, you will need the coordinates of the two endpoints. Let's say you have two endpoints A and B with coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) respectively.
1. Identify the x and y coordinates of the two endpoints, namely x1, y1, x2, and y2.
2. Apply the midpoint formula, which states that the x-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the x-coordinates of the endpoints, and the y-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the y-coordinates of the endpoints.
3. Substitute the values into the formula:
Midpoint (x,y) = ((x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2)
4. Calculate the midpoint by performing the required operations (such as addition and division).
Now, you should be able to find the midpoint of any line segment using the midpoint formula.
