Question

Given the following two points, (a) find the distance between them, (b) find the midpoint, and (c) submit the graph. Please show all of your work. (1,-3), (0,-4)

Answer 1

Using the distance formula is:

So you have

\[d=\sqrt{(0-1)^{2}+(-4-(-3)^{2}}\]

Which gives us the distance between the two points \[d=\sqrt{2}\]or 1.414

The midpoint is half the distance.

\[1/2\sqrt{2}\] or .707

Use Geogebra to graph the two points.
