MIDPOINT FORMULA · WORKED EXAMPLE
Midpoint with Decimal Coordinates
Find the midpoint between two points with decimal coordinates.
FINAL ANSWER
Given coordinates
Point A = (1.5, 2.5)
Point B = (6.5, 8.5)
Step-by-step solution
Step 1
Average the x-coordinates: (1.5 + 6.5) ÷ 2 = 4
Step 2
Average the y-coordinates: (2.5 + 8.5) ÷ 2 = 5.5
Step 3
The midpoint formula works with decimals too. Average each coordinate independently.
