How to Find the Midpoint Between Two Single Digit Points

A midpoint describes the point exactly between two other points. This translates as halfway between the two points, and the point can be found by taking an average of the two numbers. You can also apply this to find coordinates by averaging the "x" and "y" values. In some cases, such as with single digit numbers, you can do the sum in your head.

Instructions

    • 1

      Add the two points together. For example, to find a point between 3 and 9: 3+9=12.

    • 2

      Divide the number by 2 to get the midpoint. For example 12/2=6. So, 6 is the midpoint between 3 and 9.

    • 3

      Add the coordinates together and divide them by two to find the midpoint between single digit coordinates. For example, to find the midpoint between "(3,4)" and "(1,9)" perform the sums 3+1 and 4+9. This give the answer 4,13. Divide 4 and 13 by two to get the midpoint of "(2,6.5)."
