Question 214581: can you find the midpoint of a segment without using a graph ? is their a formula
Answer by nerdybill(7384) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Yes, there is... it is called the "midpoint formula".
Given that you know the coordinates of the end-points say:
(x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
then the formula:
((x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2)
This site describes it quite well:
