Question

Im having a hard time understanding this math problem. Please help!

Answer 1

Part A: 6.3

Part B: (1,-4)

Explanation:

Part A is asking for the distance between point A and point B.

Point A is at (-2,-3) and point B is at (4,-5).

You find the distance between them by using the distance formula (attached in an image).

Point A would be(x1,y1) and point B would be (x2,y2). So you plug the numbers into the equation and solve to get 6.3 rounded.

Part B is asking for the midpoint between the two points.

To find this you use the midpoint formula (attached in an image).

Again, point A is (-2,-3) and point B is (4,-5), so you plug in those numbers and solve to get (1,-4).
