Answer 1

Hi there! :)

Answer 2

Do you know the distance formula? (:

Answer 3

I know it but I just forget it @TheSmartOne

Answer 4

\(\LARGE Distance = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}\)

Answer 5

substitute your points and solve

Answer 6

You think you can do the rest from here on? :)

Answer 7

Thank you.. I can figure it out now @TheSmartOne

Answer 8

No problem, :)

Surprising that I didn't get a notification about your tag, mhmm.

The midpoint formula is:

\(\sf\Huge (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})\)

that would be the midpoint of the two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
