Find the midpoint.
\n" ); document.write( "It's the average of x and y values.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5Bm%5D=%282%2B%28-8%29%29%2F2=-6%2F2=-3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%5Bm%5D=%283%2B%28-5%29%29%2F2=-2%2F2=-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now use the distance formula,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"D%5E2=%28-3-%28-4%29%29%5E2%2B%28-1-6%29%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"D%5E2=%281%29%5E2%2B%287%29%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"D%5E2=50\"$
