Given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope of the line from both points is calculated as follows:


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

The distance between the points, or the length of the segment that joins both points is given by:


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

The coordinates of the midpoint between the given points are:


\mleft((x_1+x_2)/(2),(y_1+y_2)/(2)\mright)
