| Solved by pluggable solver: Distance Formula |
The first point is (x1,y1). The second point is (x2,y2) Since the first point is (-5, 8), we can say (x1, y1) = (-5, 8) So Since the second point is (9, 4), we can also say (x2, y2) = (9, 4) So Put this all together to get: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now use the distance formula to find the distance between the two points (-5, 8) and (9, 4) ========================================================== Answer: The distance between the two points (-5, 8) and (9, 4) is exactly The approximate distance between the two points is about 14.560219778561 units So again, Exact Distance: Approximate Distance: |
| Solved by pluggable solver: Midpoint |
The first point is (x1,y1). The second point is (x2,y2) Since the first point is (-5, 8), we can say (x1, y1) = (-5, 8) So Since the second point is (9, 4), we can also say (x2, y2) = (9, 4) So Put this all together to get: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finding the x coordinate of the midpoint: Add up the corresponding x coordinates x1 and x2 and divide that sum by 2 X Coordinate of Midpoint = X Coordinate of Midpoint = X Coordinate of Midpoint = X Coordinate of Midpoint = So the x coordinate of the midpoint is 2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finding the y coordinate of the midpoint: Add up the corresponding y coordinates y1 and y2 and divide that sum by 2 Y Coordinate of Midpoint = Y Coordinate of Midpoint = Y Coordinate of Midpoint = Y Coordinate of Midpoint = So the y coordinate of the midpoint is 6 =============================================================================== Summary: The midpoint of the segment joining the two points (-5, 8) and (9, 4) is (2, 6). So the answer is (2, 6) |
