Find the distance between each pair of points and the midpoint of the line segment joining the points. Leave distance n radical form.
(-5,4), (6,-1)
----------------
s+=+sqrt%28diffy%5E2+%2B+diffx%5E2%29
s+=+sqrt%285%5E2+%2B+11%5E2%29
s+=+sqrt%28146%29
--------------------
To find the midpoint, get the averages of x and y separately.
x = (-5+6)/2 = 1/2
y = (4-1)/2 = 3/2
Midpoint is (1/2,3/2)
