Given data:

The two terms are given distance formula and mid point.

1)Distance formula gives the length whereas mid point formula tell us about the location of the point.

2)Distance formula tell us how much one point away from other on the other hand mid point exactly lie in the centre between the given point.

3)

The expression for the distance formula is,


D=\sqrt[]{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2_{}_{}}

The expression for mid point is,


\begin{gathered} X=(x_1+x_2)/(2) \\ Y=(y_1+y_2)/(2) \end{gathered}
