Answer:

Explanation:

midpoint
=((x_1+x_2)/(2) ,(y_1+y_2)/(2))


=((3+7)/(2) ,(1+5)/(2))


=(5,3)

slope
=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)


=(5-1)/(7-3)


=(4)/(4)


=1

distance
=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)


=√((7-3)^2+(5-1)^2)


=√(4^2+4^2)


=√(16+16)


=√(32)


=√(16*2)


=4√(2)

Line equation:


y-y_1=m(x-x_1) (this is the point- gradient form)


y-1=1(x-3) (m=1 is slope, and I used point (3,1) for
(x_1,y_1) )


y-1=x-3


y=x-2
