Given:

Two-point in line is:


\begin{gathered} \text{ First point }=(x_1,y_1) \\ \\ \text{ Second point }=(x_2,y_2) \end{gathered}

Find-:

1) Distance formula

2) Slope formula

3) Midpoint formula

Explanation-:

1)

Distance between two points is:


\begin{gathered} \text{ First point }=(x_1,y_1) \\ \\ \text{ Second point }=(x_2,y_2) \end{gathered}

Distance formula:


D=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

"D" represents distance.

Slope formula:


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

"m" represents the slope of the line.

Midpoint formula:


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

"M" represents the midpoint.
