Midpoint Formula Game
 
The best way to get good at using the midpoint formula is to do it often. This Midpoint Formula Game is an interactive and engaging web-based application designed to help you practice and improve your skills.
 
The midpoint is the middle point of a line segment. The midpoint formula is used to find the coordinates of this point when you know the coordinates of the two endpoints. Scroll down the page for a more detailed explanation.
 
This is an interactive game to help students practice using the midpoint formula. If you get an answer wrong, the game will show you the correct solution. The game has an optional 60-second timer, encouraging players to solve the problems quickly and efficiently.

Midpoint Formula
Midpoint Formula Lesson
The midpoint formula finds the coordinates of a point exactly halfway between two given points on a coordinate plane. It is expressed as:
\(m=\left( \frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2} \right)\)
where
M represents the coordinates of the midpoint.
\(\left( x_{1},y_{1} \right)\) are the coordinates of the first endpoint.
\(\left( x_{2},y_{2} \right)\) are the coordinates of the second endpoint.
 

How to Use the Formula: Step-by-Step Example
Let’s find the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints at (2,5) and (8,1).
Step 1: Identify your coordinates.
Let (x₁, y₁)=(2,5) and (x₂, y₂)=(8,1).
Step 2: Find the average of the x-coordinates.
\(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2} = \frac{2+8}{2} = 5\)
Step 3: Find the average of the y-coordinates.
\(\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2} = \frac{5+1}{2} = 3\)
Step 4: Combine the results.
The coordinates of the midpoint are (5,3).
