ReferencesAbout This ArticleArticle SummaryX In order to find the midpoint of a line segment, you first have to understand that it’s the point located on the exact midpoint of the 2 endpoints, so it’s the average of the endpoints. To use the midpoint formula, add the x-coordinates of the endpoints and divide the result by 2. Then, add the y-coordinates of the endpoints and divide them by 2. Once you know the coordinates of the endpoints, you can plug them into the formula and solve. To learn how to find the midpoint of the vertical and horizontal lines, keep reading!
