Question

the difference between midpoint and distance formula??

Answer 1

The formula for midpoint is \[((x _{1}+x _{2})\div2)+((y _{1}+y _{2})\div2)\]
By using the formula, you are finding the x and y values in the middle of the two points.

The formula for distance is\[\sqrt{(X_{1}+X_{2})^{2}+(Y_{1}+Y_{2})^{2}}\]
What you are doing when you use this formula is find the actual length of the line connecting the two points (the distance, hence the name distance formula).

Answer 2

one takes the average between 2 points; and the other finds the distance between 2 points

Answer 3

we dont use that fomula???
