Answer:

  • DF = √(m²+n²)
  • slope = -n/m
  • midpoint = (m/2, n/2)

Explanation:

The distance formula or the Pythagorean theorem will tell you the length of DF:

DF = √((m -0)² +(0 -n)²)

DF = √(m² +n²)

The slope can be found from the slope formula or by looking at rise/run.

slope = rise/run

slope = -n/m

The midpoint is the average of the end points:

midpoint = ((0, n) +(m, 0))/2

midpoint = (m/2, n/2)
