Solved by pluggable solver: To find midpoint of segment connecting two point
The Coordinates of mid point of a line segment joining two points can be calculated using following formulas.

X coordinate of mid point is










Y coordinate of mid point is









Hence, The mid point of segment joining two point (1,1) and (9,7) is (5,4)



Solved by pluggable solver: Distance between two points in two dimensions
The distance (denoted by d) between two points in two dimensions is given by the following formula:



Thus in our case, the required distance is



For more on this concept, refer to Distance formula.



graph of points (1,1),(9,7) with the midpoint (5,4)
