Question

What is the midpoint and distance formulas

Answer 1

distance= d= sqrt (x2-x1)2 + (y2-y1)2

Answer 2

we have two points
\[(x _{1},y _{1}), (x _{2},y _{2})\]
the midpoint is the average of the x and y positions:
\[((x_{1}+x_{2})/2,(y_{1}+y_{2})/2)\]
the distance is:
\[d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}\]
from the pythagorean theorem
