Question

Find distance and midpoint between two points,

(A) (-5, 2) and (3, -4) (B) ( -5, -1) and (1, -3)
Need to show work

Answer 1

P(Px, Py) and Q(Qx, Qy)

Midpoint

M((Px + Qx)/2, (Py + Qy)/2)

Distance

d = √((Px - Qx)^2 + (Py - Qy)^2)

For example

(A)

Midpoint

M((-5 + 3)/2, (2 + (-4))/2) = M(-1, -1)

Distance

d = √((-5 - 3)^2 + (2 - (-4))^2) = √(64 + 36) = 10
