Hi

Midpoint Pt(x,y):  ( , )

(2, -3) 

(-2, -1) Mpt = (0, -2)

(0, -2)

(-2,-1)  Mpt = (-1,)   3/4 Distance from E to F

 , the translation of the description and question into pure symbols.  Distance Formula is used.







,  which is the equation of a circle.





You also want the line containing points E and F. 

Using slope-intercept form completely, y=mx+b, b=y-mx,
