Formula and explanation

Formula: M((x₁ + x₂)/(2), (y₁ + y₂)/(2), (z₁ + z₂)/(2) ight) Applicable Conditions: For the line segment connecting points P₁(x₁, y₁, z₁) and P₂(x₂, y₂, z₂) in the 3D Cartesian coordinate system. Brief Explanation: The coordinates of the midpoint are the arithmetic means of the corresponding coordinates of its endpoints.
