the distance formula & midpoint formula ...are they both similar ?

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

no, the section formula and mid-point formula are similar. section formula gives you formula for coordinates of a point that divide two points in the ratio m:n. but for midpoint formula, both m and are are equal to 1, since ratio of division is same. basically mid-point formula is a special case of section formula.
