Midpoint
is a point that divides a line segment into two parts that are equal or
congruent. It is a point that is equidistant between the two endpoints. It
would be the point that is found halfway the two endpoints. So, we obtain this
point by locating the point that is in between the two endpoints. For the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), we determine the midpoint as follows:<span>
(x1+x2/2 , y1+y2/2) = (x3, y3)
So, we will have three points which are </span>(x1, y1), (x2, y2) and (x3, y3). Then, we need to use the formula again to determine the midpoint of the two line segment.
<span>
</span>(x1+x3/2 , y1+y3/2) = (x4, y4)
Substituting the value for x3 and y3,
(x1+((x1+x2)/2)/2 , y1+((y1+y2)/2)/2) = (x4, y4)
(x4, y4) = (3x1 + x2 / 4 , 3y1 + y2 / 4)
(x3+x2/2 , y3+y2/2) = (x5, y5)
<span>We do the same as the procedure above,
</span>(x2+((x1+x2)/2)/2 , y2+((y1+y2)/2)/2) = (x4, y4)
(x5, y5) = (3x2 + x1 / 4 , 3y2 + y1 / 4)<span>
</span><span>
