How to Find x and y Using the Midpoint Formula

In this video, we solve a midpoint formula problem step by step.
You’re given:
One point: (2, 3)
An unknown point: (x, y)
A midpoint: (5,10)
Your goal is to find the missing coordinates x and y.
Many students know the midpoint formula but aren’t sure how to use it backwards to find missing values. In this lesson, we show exactly how to set up the equations, solve them cleanly, and avoid common mistakes.
Midpoint problems appear frequently in Algebra 1, coordinate geometry, and standardized tests such as the SAT, ACT, GED, HiSET, ACCUPLACER, and teacher certification exams. They’re also common in homeschool math programs.
Before watching — can you find x and y on your own?
