How can I do this? Find the length and coordinates of the midpoint of the segment with endpoints T(2,7) and P(12,7)

Question

anonymous · Answer

For this question, you have to find the length of the line and the midpoint so first let's do the length. Do you know the formula to find the length between two points (the distance formula)?

anonymous · Answer

Yes I do know how to do the distance formula.

anonymous · Answer

if you do know it, then all you have to do is plug in the two points into the distance formula and you'll find the length. Tell me when you get your answer so I can see if we have the same one.

I got d=10

anonymous · Answer

yup, exactly. that's the distance. perfect.
Now to find the midpoint. Do you know the midpoint formula?
