Apply the distance formula:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "d = sqrt[(x1 - x2)^2 + (y1 - y2)^2]
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Plug in the values for x1, x2, y1 and y2.
\n" ); document.write( "Perform the operations underneath the radical sign.
\n" ); document.write( "Find the square root of the result.
\n" ); document.write( "d - sqrt[(-1-3)^2 + (2-(-4)^2]
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Apply the midpoint formula. The midpoint is the same as finding the average of each point. Add the values together and divide by two:
\n" ); document.write( "(x1 + x2)/2 represents the x value of the midpoint.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(y1 + y2)/2 represents the y value of the midpoint.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Plug in the values and perform the necessary operations. The final answer should be in the format of (x, y). \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
