Midpoint Formula
Example Problem
Given the points ( -1, -2 ) and ( -3, 5 ), find the midpoint of the line segment joining them. Using the midpoint formula, label the points as x1 = -1, y1 = -2, x2 = -3, and y2 = 5. To find the midpoint M of the line segment joining the points, use the midpoint formula :
