SOLUTION: Find the distance to the nearest hundredths between the given points. Then find the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment connecting the points. P1(6,-1)and P2(-3,-2)

Question 158735: Find the distance to the nearest hundredths between the given points. Then find the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment connecting the points.
P1(6,-1)and P2(-3,-2)

I belive I have the first answer, 9. If this is correct, how do I find the midpoint?

9 is not correct

you need to use the Pythagorean theorem (distance formula)

finding the midpoint is fairly easy
__ just find the average of the 2 x-coordinates and the average of the 2 y-coordinates
