Midpoint Calculator

Calculate the midpoint, distance, and slope between two points in a coordinate plane.

Enter Coordinates

Overview

This tool calculates three values. They are the midpoint, distance, and slope between two points. It shows a graph that marks both points and the midpoint.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Enter numbers in the "Point 1" fields. Enter one number for the X value and one for the Y value.
  2. Enter numbers in the "Point 2" fields. Enter one number for the X value and one for the Y value.
  3. Click the Calculate button. The tool shows the midpoint along with the distance and slope.
  4. The graph plots the two points and marks the midpoint on a grid.

Input Fields Explained

The X field holds the horizontal value. The Y field holds the vertical value. Use any real number for each field.

Output Details

You see formulas for the midpoint, distance, and slope. The midpoint formula is (x₁ + x₂)/2 and (y₁ + y₂)/2. The distance formula finds the gap between the points. The slope formula shows the steepness of the line.

Limitations and Special Notes

You must enter valid numbers. The tool stops if a value is missing or not a number. The slope reads "undefined" for a vertical line.
